Tell me, Mr. Anderson... what good is a phone call... if you're unable to speak?

I suggest you watch a few 24 behind the scenes, they explain their camera work/lighting. If done right, you could make a really nice scene.

The Usual Suspects

"Do you know what'll happen if you go to jail?"

I'm asking a lot but could you be more specific? I you could i'd go down HMV now and buy the dvd with the behind the scenes part on it that would help me.

The Inside Man had quite a good scene. The lighting and shots were very raw looking IIRC.

Waking the Dead. Trevor Eve screaming his head off!

LOLWUT?

I've seen 3 episodes of 24 and not 1 had an interrogation scene

I don't want to waste my money so I'd appreciate it if you could be more specific with regards to episodes.

Have you had anyone proof or edit that script? It could do with a bit of a polish tbh.

crunchman · 17 Mar 2009 at 16:06

Unplug the cctv in the room and have the detective beat the **** out of the suspect till he confesses.

Thats what watching 3 seasons of the shield in a week has taught me !

Gustov · 17 Mar 2009 at 16:08

I'm open to suggestions

it obviously reads a lot better to me as i know the tone / mood of the piece.

The format is also horrible on here, it's done properly on word.

Episodes of Spooks.

Casino Royale.

I find this link a good benchmark for police interrogation.

Rhys · 17 Mar 2009 at 16:11

Do it from the point of view of the person getting interrogated? Jerky cam looking down and then looking around. Might be cool?

I'll be using over the shoulders of both characters

Mid close ups

Close ups

Wide shot.

Ah just seen L.A Confidential on my DVD rack, I'm sure that has a good interrogation scene in it.

Conscript · 17 Mar 2009 at 16:15

L.A Confidential. Either the scene where Crowe sticks a revolver in a suspects mouth during an interview or any of the interrogation scenes from the Victory Motel.

Edit: Damnit, beaten by 2 minutes

Von Smallhausen · 17 Mar 2009 at 16:17

I am no director but low light will work a lot better.

I caught an episode of The Bill last week and although the interview was unrealistic to me< it was shot in lower light than a normal police interview would and it looked good.
