What methods of characterisation were used?<br>Reactions, physical description, action and behaviour, speech<br><br>3. Provide examples from the film to show these methods of characterisation.<br>- Physical description: She wears high heels and an expensive-looking black coat. <br>- Reactions: When the employees knew the boss was coming, they rushed about tidying everything and putting on makeup, high heels to impress the boss. One of the employees sounded stressed when she was calling someone as she knew the boss was coming earlier than expected.<br>- Attitude and behaviour: When she talks she does not show much respect to the person she is talking to or about. She also doesn't look at her secretary when she is being spoken to.<br>- Speech: "Tales of your incompetence do not interest me," she said to her secretary. <br>    </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>  Let's start with the beginning. The setting takes place in a office or a studio. The driver of Miranda called the lady.<br> <br> 1) Miranda has a chauffeur, which concludes that she must come from a rich family.<br><br>  The man who the lady met was in a office. The man walked out and said, "Gird your loins!"<br><br>  2) <strong>gird (up) one's loins, </strong>to prepare oneself for something requiring readiness, strength, or endurance. This shows they might be preparing for somebody important.<br><br>  3) When everybody heard that, they started cleaning up their desks and throwing away some items they knew that Miranda will not approve of. (a woman threw away a packet of candies, etc.) A woman used her computer's photo screen as a mirror and started applying makeup. People started shifting some things to its rightful places. Magazines were spread neatly on the table and a glass was filled with a alcoholic drink.<br><br>  When Miranda came out of the car, she walked fast but in a cool and calm manner. She wore very fashionable and nice clothes. People seeing her moved away. A lady in the same lift as her noticed her, apologized, went out and waited for the next lift.<br><br>  4) The people are showing her respect. This is another clue that she is important. She is also wearing expensive clothing, which also shows that she is rich.<br><br>  When she reached the office, the lady held her stuff for her. Miranda started talking in a lazy and calm manner, like she had nothing to lose. She was unsatisfied at some things that she talked with the lady. People saw her immediately moved in the other direction.<br><br>  5) Miranda had nothing to fear and talked calmly. Her unsatisfaction on the subject could tell she was spoilt. The people did not want to block her and reduce her convenience.<br><br>Conclusion of the character of Miranda: Miranda is a rich woman with a strong taste for drinks. She is spoilt and a boss of a very successful company. She is famous and well respected. (probably for her company)</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1)I think the boss is a VIP and does not like her office company to be messy. Also, I think everyone is scared of this person as when they were told she was coming, everyone was preparing to be neat and tidy. That means Miranda is organised. Miranda is pretty rich too as her wearing is expensive and she has a chauffeur. She looks like someone who is grand because of her expression and speech.<br>2) Physical description, Speech,Reactions,Behaviour.<br>3)When Miranda called and said she was coming , everyone started to run/panic and started cleaning their messy tables.(Reaction)<br>When Miranda talks, she talks in a formal and grand way.(speech)<br>What Miranda wears, expensive clothing. She came in a chauffeur.(Physical description)<br>Miranda's behaviour, how she walks, how she talks</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I would say Miranda is a person with a high rank. She has a chauffeur so that means she is also rich . I think she is a vety important person to the place she was going as the people inside went crazy when they heard she was coming early.<br><br><br>The methods of characterisation used were physical description, Action/Attidude/behaviour, Reactions and speech. Which is almost all five.<br><br><br>For physical description, you can see Miranda is wearing nice and expensive clothes.For action/Attidude/behaviour, you can see the way Miranda walks and behaves. The way she behaves is like a person with very high standards. You also can see Miranda expects alot  from the people at the place she’s going. For Reactions, you can see the people’s reactions when they heard Miranda with coming early. Some scrambled around and looked their best, and meanwhile, some tidy to place.For speech, you can hear the person talking to Maranda was really nervous. Her voice was shaking .</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Miranda is a perfectionist.She wants every tiny detail in her company (which she is the boss of)To be perfect.She rattles on about stuff she wants to be perfect." Tell Simone I'm not going to approve that girl that she sent me for the Brazilian layout. I asked for clean, athletic, smiling. She sent me dirty, tired and paunchy." She is actually similar to Lord Business from <em>The Lego Movie</em> (2014). Both are people who want everything to be perfect in their own opinions and they are also bosses of companies ( Miranda of "Runway", Business of "Octan")Also,just the mere mention of her coming is enough to send the whole office into chaos,with every detail (messes cleaned up,glasses filled,unnecessary items removed,even the sanitation of the office is questioned)She is also rich,like Lord Business,as she has a chauffeur while Lord Business has a massive HQ and a equally massive army of work robots.The situation also resembles a visit to a barracks by the supreme commander of the armed forces.<br>2.Reactions, Behavior ,Inner Thoughts, Speech,Physical Description.<br>3.Reactions: As soon as staff know she is coming,the whole office rushes to get ready.When people see Miranda with the Secretary,they quickly turn and walk away,hoping Miranda never saw them.<br>Speech: Miranda speaks sternly while the staff speak in light,apologetic and sometimes soft tones<br>Inner Thoughts: Everyone was worried Miranda would catch them preparing for her arrival.<br>Physical description : The staff were feeling like small pawns doing work under fear of being fired while Miranda was stern,walking with stride like an army general visiting the barracks.<br>Behavior: The staff rushed in a panicked manner to finish their duties before Miranda caught them while Miranda was calm but she did not turn to look at her secretary while rattling off a bunch of perfectionism stuff.She also said to the secretary:" Details of your incompetence do not interest me." <br><br>P.S."Gird Your Loins"means to prepare and strengthen oneself for future actions, typically ones that may be dangerous or difficult. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Boss Miranda is, first of all, a perfectionist. For example, the boss rejected a person because she had given a painfully poor assignment.   <br>Boss Miranda seems like a VIP. When everyone got the news that she was coming, everyone hastily started organizing and putting make-up on their faces(Basically, they are paying mutual respect on her). Based on my experience,  people nowadays only pay respect to those of higher ranking (Generally). <br> Boss Miranda seems old because of her white hair.<br><br>2. Physical description, Behaviour, Reactions and Speech. <br><br>3. <strong><mark>Speech:</mark></strong> This clearly showed the instructions and emotions of the people working at the company. At the first part, a woman called up and instructed someone that Miranda was there. At the last part of the scene, Miranda talks about the poorly done assignment and also showed how she felt about it.<br><strong><mark>Reactions:</mark></strong> Miranda was actually earlier than the time she should have arrived. Therefore, everyone hastily organized the office for Miranda is a perfectionist and no one wants to disappoint her by leaving it untidy and disorganised. <br><strong><mark>Behaviour:</mark></strong><strong> </strong> Miranda has a rude person. Although the woman walking beside her was in a lower rank, she did not even give eye contact and talk to her eye to eye. That seems pretty harsh to me.<br><strong><mark>Physical Description: </mark></strong>Miranda wore a black coat with a white handbag slung over her shoulder and holding a magazine. All the employees were wearing a formal dress.<strong><br></strong><br></div>]]></description>

When Miranda reached, those who saw her went in another direction to avoid her. One woman even went out of the lift to let her go up first even though she had came first and there was more than enough space in the lift, proving she was respected and feared by alot.<br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1) She is a very strict and important person. Everyone is very scared of her.

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><em>1. What words would you use describe the boss, Miranda?<br></em></strong>I would describe the boss, Miranda, as:<br>~ A Highly Respected Person - because everyone cleaned up the office upon hearing of her arrival.<br>~ A Very Important Person - because everyone moves out of her way when they sees her.<br>~ A Very Reliant Person - because she relies on others to do her stuff like closing the car door, opening the security check gate and holding here items.<br>~ A Extremely Rich Person - because she was driven to the office on a "Mercedes" car, uses branded things.<br><strong><em><br>2. What methods of characterisation were used?<br></em></strong>The methods of characterisation used were:<br>~ Physical Description<br>~ Action / Attitude / Behaviour<br>~ Reactions<br>~ Speech<br><strong><em><br>3. Provide examples from the film to show these methods of characterisation.<br></em></strong>The methods and the examples:<br>~ Physical Description - The boss, Miranda, wears a fur coat and expensive accessories. Thus, she was carrying a branded leather bag. Also, she was well made up. <br>~ Action / Attitude / Behaviour - The boss, Miranda, was a model cat-walking down the runway. She was acting very proud as she is rich and have a highest rank in the company. She behaves like a queen waking on a red carpet spread out in a hallway.<br>~ Reactions - The boss, Miranda, gave all her hand items to her secretary who came to meet her in the walkway to the office. <br>~ Speech - The boss, Miranda, talks in an arrogant manner like she is demanding someone to do something for her. <br><br><strong><em>P.S.<br></em></strong><em>I think that everybody is afraid of her due to these characterisation. <br>If I am one of the employees, I would:<br>~ Quit the job and find another job which I like to do.<br>~ Tell her politely that she is mean and arrogant and request her kindly to be more kind and gentle. If she fires me, I would just leave without any hesitation and find another job that I like to do.<br>~ Work hard with persistence to take over her job and make everyone like this job.<br>~ Tolerate with her doing.</em></div>]]></description>
