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.

You've seen 3 episodes? Get watching 24 dude!

Like I said, I can't remember exactly which seasons and episodes where every interrogation is.

I remember the one in Season 4, think it was Episode 2. Jack worked for the DoD and had to go to CTU. CTU at the time were trying to interrogate a terrorist and were getting no where.

So Jack, being Jack decides to knock out the security at the holding room door, take his gun and interrogate the terrorist himself. The terrorist refuses so Jack just shoots him in the kneecap.

All the scenes end up like that one way or another, but they are the most impressive/realistic interrogations I have seen and enjoy watching.

But, your interrogation is along the lines of day to day police work, so might not suit the needs you have.

Thanks swifty, i think that's one of the episodes I've seen

I just watched the L.A Confidential one, really really good..

Once again predominantly over the shoulders, it seems these scenes rely on good acting.

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

Know where about the Victory motel scenes are?

NCIS might be a better fit towards your script.

These shots make me feel sick, constantly circling the two characters

It's to create the effect of the atmosphere within the interrogation room. What good is it if the viewers don't get that feeling?

You could mix up between different scenes from movies/tv shows.

Yea but it;s not necessary, The Dark Knight and L.A Confidential don't use those kind of shots and imo do a far better job.

I don't disagree, everyone to their own tbh.

Hope you find something you can work with.

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 !

It's sooo good. I've been watching it for years now and it is by far one of the most underrated shows ever made.

Gustov · 17 Mar 2009 at 16:35

Yea just watched the whole chapter on the DVD, great scene!

lol at the amount of interest in this thread!!! People seem to like interrogation scenes

Gustov · 17 Mar 2009 at 16:38

I'm noting down conventions I'm seeing throughout various interrogations.

Suits
Tie
Watch
Clean Shaven
Notepad
Pen
Tea
Tape Recorder

Any more?

A good script.

Well that was a necessary dig, thanks for that.

In all fairness mate, it's a good script, but could do with spicing up.
