Film Genre
The film The Devil Wears Prada is a comedy-drama starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. This movie tells the story of Andy Sachs (Hathaway), an aspiring journalist, who lands herself a job as Miranda Priestley's (Streep) assistant at Runway magazine. This film showcases the qualities of a comedy and a drama through its dark humor, frequent sarcasm, and conflicts in relationships both in work and in personal lives. Throughout the film, Andy is constantly choosing between her job and her relationships with her friends, a common situation in reality, but this situation is exaggerated by her un ordinary work life, filled with odd jobs and casual run ins with major celebrities.

The Show Must Go On
If I were to create a documentary, my focus would be on the topic of the fashion industry. The fashion industry is filled with secrets of the demanding, harsh, and romanticized lifestyles of the models, designers, and everyone else involved with the creation of new fashions. My documentary would be titled, "Fashion Weak", due to serious training the models force themselves to endure, while working countless hours and hardly eating. This film would be observational, as I want to capture the "behind the scenes" feel by letting the models and designers organize their shows as severely and honestly as they normally do. I would like to be the director of this film, and as director, I would place cameras in the backstage area of the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week shows to film the actions and discussions of the working people. I feel that it is important to expose the fashion industry as vulnerable and raw as possible to showcase the amount of hard work, dedication, and drive it takes to create an extravaganza as glamorous as fashion week, but also how rigorous and iron-fisted the people behind the enchantment of this season's most treasured and desired looks.

BU Fever spreading like wildfire
The Boston University Epidemic, also known as “BU Fever,” has overtaken the city of Boston this past year, infecting people of all ages with overwhelming school spirit for a university they do not attend.
BU Fever affects non-students who wish to fit in with the tuition paying college community. In order to feel included in the collegiate environment, non-students will often purchase BU lanyards, sweatshirts or other merchandise, sometimes spending upwards of $50 on an abundance of Boston University gear.
Not only is BU Fever affecting Boston residents and out-of-state visitors, but also has spread to Europe, in turn drawing many international visitors. A foreign exchange student from Germany traveling with AFS has said she stocks up on gear to, “show [she’s] been here.” The obsession with the University is spreading rapidly. There have been sightings of non-BU students on almost every continent proudly donning college wear for a school they do not attend, according to a BU Bookstore employee.
After interviewing two employees at the BU Bookstore, it was revealed that, on average, half the clothing purchases are made by non-students. When asked if it bothers current students, one employee responded, "Yeah, probably,” with fervor.
The widespread fever has angered many students currently enrolled in the school. “I guess some of the students who actually go here get annoyed by all the people who pretend, but I don’t really know,” said Rose, a rising junior at BU, who was overcome with emotion during the interview.
The BU Fever has shown no signs of stopping anytime soon. Although students are not thrilled with the epidemic, the bookstore employees say it has been great for business.
