The masterpiece script (1)
- 2. THE MASTERPIECE - INTERVIEW SCENES 1. INT. ON SET - DAY Medium shot of Paúl Watson sitting down on his directors chair looking ostentatious, making flamboyant hand gestures as he talks. While the actors are behind him filming. PAÚL: (With an exaggerated French accent) We wanted to create a film that was classic but also humorous. 'The Masterpiece' is set in 1920's Paris and is very stylish; we've showcased the picturesque of the French city where I grew up. (AUBINE MOUET WALKS BY WAVING A BAGUETTE IN THE AIR) I wanted to express the artistic culture of my country, and the passion that we French have for beautiful things. CUT TO: 2. INT. NATHANIEL'S OFFICE - DAY Medium shot of NATHANIEL SNOW sitting behind his desk. Holding a cup of tea with his pinky out, looking very British. NATHANIEL: The Masterpiece IS my masterpiece, my legacy. When I was a child i envisioned a tale of woe and adventure. I wanted to compose a film that would blow people away in silence of course. As for what happens , err (reads off his hand) (to cameraman) Cut that bit out. It's about a struggling artist who finally gets his big break in the world only to have it snatched away from him. Scenes of the film. CUT TO: 3. INT. ON SET - DAY Cut to Medium shot of PAÚL WATSON sitting down on his directors chair.
- 3. PAÚL: (Looking very pleased with himself whilst he talks) I was really looking forward to creating this film and I was eager to embrace my role as director. HOWEVER, (zoom in to PAÚL putting his hands on his face) this face... (AUBINE MOUET POKES HIS FACE WITH THE BAGUETTE WHILST HE IS TALKING) is too pretty to stay behind the camera. cut to production scenes of paúlphotobombing the film. CUT TO: 4. INT. COSTUME DEPARTMENT - DAY JUDE KIRK: (Looking in the mirror admiring himself) My character is THE HERO but also (dramatic air-grab and whisper) the victim. he's a man of great talent and vision, envied by all who cross his path. Brave as a lion, with a heart of gold. He has immense talent, but is far too modest to boast. cursed to live a life of poverty with a destiny much greater than he could ever imagine. people mocked his dreams as a child, but as a man he MADE THEM HAPPEN, his childhood dreams became reality! (Continues to waffle...) CUT TO: 5. INT. COSTUME DEPARTMENT - DAY Surrounded by the costumes and props, JUDE KIRK in the background admiring himself in the mirror and still talking. ANASTASIE GERVAIS: My inspiration for the clothing came from Google images. I Googled 1920's pretty dresses and copied the first things that came up really. (Shrugs) Interviewer coughs and the crew look at each other and roll their eyes. CUT TO: 6. INT. CANTEEN - DAY
- 4. Drinking coffee, sat at a table. JULIENNE TESSIER: (Posh) Marie, the character whom I portray, exudes exuberance, she isn't at all ostentatious! She falls in love with this mysterious artist whilst out of the good nature of her own heart, she is assisting him with the recovery of his precious objet d'art. CUT TO: 7. INT. COSTUME DEPARTMENT - DAY JUDE KIRK: (STILL CONTINUING THE SAME WAFFLE) His life is like a roller coaster, twisting and turning, spiraling out of control and even though he has no sense of direction, his moral compass has always pointed due north. His battle for justice goes unmatched by ANY man! CUT TO: 8. INT. INTERVIEW ROOM -DAY AUBINE MOUET: (Sitting down in the interview room) I'm the bad guy, (evil laugh). The role I play is a very complex woman. Whom I believe is more... misunderstood than evil. Just because she steals a painting, commits federal fraud, kills a bunch of people and tries to take over the world... again. It doesn't make her EVIL. (DRAMATIC ZOOM ONTO HER FACE)OR DOES IT?! CUT TO: 9. INT. INTERVIEW ROOM -DAY HARRISON HOLLOWAY: (Sitting down in the interview room) So I supervise the movie. My plan was to make the best movie I could with a substantially low budget. (Looking unamused) I am not amused. Admittedly, there
- 5. were quite a number of (pauses) issues that needed to be resolved. Mostly that Paul. PAÚL: (In the distance) "IT's PRONOUNCED PAÚL. Emphasis on the OOL" HARRISON HOLLOWAY: (mumbling) amateurs. The camera crew tried, they really did try, and the actors were... acting. (Show shots of acting) PAUL was being Paul and the only person who did their job correctly was me. CUT TO: 10. INT. ON SET - DAY PAÚL: Of course, I had the hardest job of all. The cast and crew are all incompetent fools! CUT TO: SHOTS OF CAST AND CREW NOT DOING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED FINAL WORDS 11. INT. INTERVIEW ROOMS - DAY JULIENNE TESSIER: you should watch this film, it's a work of art! JUDE KIRK: (Proudly) It's 58 minutes and 32 seconds of MEEEE! NATHANIEL: This is my brainchild. PAÚL: (Throwing arms in the air) This is MY masterpiece! THE END
