The First Video
For my CCR, I want to make it entertaining. When we went through the presentation, it was heavily implied to make it not boring. I want to have a comedic approach to my CCR because in the past I have found myself having the most fun using that approach. I want to have both videos be a continuous narrative, instead of two separate products that happen to continue the same set of questions.
In this first part, I want to play the character of Texas Jacobs who seems to have forgotten that he had an interview scheduled. The interviewer would catch him about to leave his neighborhood, and in the spontaneity of the situation he has them get in his car and conduct the interview while he drives. He tells them that he is getting the band together again, and answers the first question with no incident. While I answer this question I will most likely include other media into it so it isn't just me talking while driving. I could include some clips from production and other stuff like that to keep it interesting and dynamic.
After the first question, it happens. Texas Jacobs hits a pedestrian on accident. In raw panic, he decides to drive away and does not know what to do. I don't want this to be super serious, and kind of want it to be filmed similarly to that scene in The Office (2005) where Michael hits Meredith with his car.
The scene I'm talking about, skip to 45 seconds in:
To cope with the stress, Texas Jacobs tells the interviewer to keep going with the questions. About halfway in to the second question, I want the cops to show up and start pursuing him. For the rest of this question, faint cop sirens and blue/red flashing lights will be present. Once the question is answered, I think this part will be end by Jacobs focusing more on losing them.
The Second Video
I want the second video to begin with Jacobs in hiding, arguing with the interviewer. The interviewer can say something like "Why am I still here, I didn't even do anything!" Then Jacobs can say "You are an accomplice now, your best bet is to stay with me here! Just finish the interview!" The interviewer, annoyed, asks the question and Jacobs begins to answer it. Halfway through, they can see blue/red lights flash from outside the room, and Jacobs tells the interviewer to be quieter. In the rest of this interview, they speak with their inside voices. After the third question is answered, the cops get really close by, and the interviewer knocks something over. A cop goes "Is anyone in there? Show yourself!" Jacobs slowly turns around at the camera man disappointed, and it cuts to a gavel hitting three times on the table with a voice saying "Order in the court!"
Jacobs and the interviewer have been arrested and are now in court. Knowing it is over for both of them, their attorney adjourned the hearing to plan what they will say. Jacobs says that they literally have the crime on video, and they might as well just finish the interview before they go to jail. This is when the final questioned is asked and answered. This video will finally end with an emotional montage of them going to jail.
I am really excited to make this CCR now that I have a fun idea, and I may actually film this weekend if everything goes to plan.
