#9: SuperBad

I am McLovin

Details in the Script: The scene takes place in a local liquor store. There are only three characters in which we can see, two policemen and a woman. The policemen are both white and dressed in their police uniforms. The lady is of a darker skin tone, "African" if you will. The woman stands behind the counter; she is the cashier. The counter is never seen, but we know that it is there because she leans on it. It is most likely up to about her waist. Both of the policemen have a pencil and a notepad. The scene doesn't change at all and no props are added or lost.

Details to and for the People: This scene is filmed by switching back and forth between the two parties. It goes from the woman behind the counter to the two policemen. The policemen use the notepads and pencils to take notes and to illustrate an M&M when the time comes. They also use them in their hand gestures, which add to the interrogation somewhat. The two policemen add in stupidity to the role by contradicting each other and the woman. They stutter when speaking to show that they are not the best of policemen. The cashier puts an attitude into her voice, so that she can sound more annoyed at the policemen. She carries a different tone through the scene as her mood changes from annoyed to downright angry.

haha love this movie. One thing that i would change, is maybe some more funny antics made by the cops. Like not too much more, but just more in this little video, cause its hilarious. They could also be a little more confused on everything that the lady is telling them. That would make it more funny.

amazing clip! i love the cops the most. i think it would be funnier if the cops didnt say african at all. they should just keep saying "like you, not us , but like you" then the black lady would get really super pissed off. that might even cause even more confusion in the end.

Best movie award! I would change some of the camera angles. They use the same two throughout the clip. They could be looking from behind the other guy instead of just one. I think it would also be good if the cameras zoomed out when they did actions like demonstrating the "crime." It would be even funnier if they cops really got into the actions.
