Since we only had some requirements of this short, such as a shot/reverse shot and some lines of dialogue, we really wanted to be as ridiculous as we could, so we decided on a cliché cop interrogation. We both liked how funny dutch angles were when used in a serious manner, so we watched this clip from Mission Impossible:
We watched it simply without sound and we couldn't stop laughing at it, so we knew that we had to do it. We only had one actor as I (Mishaal) wanted to film it. We talked through the idea with James Phillips, who happened to be free at the time of shooting. We shot the exteriors and then went over the dialogue and figured out the timings. Then we shot Taran's side then proceeded to shoot James' side. Then after that, we hadn't come up with an exact ending, but just then, Jon and Elliot walked and we came up with the ending.
Then in Editing, we pieced together the clips, so make it super dramatic and somewhat cheesy. The edit was funny without any background music, but then Taran came up with adding the music from Pulp Fiction and it made it so much funnier. It was strange on how well it fit together. Then we quickly made the credits to mimic the titles of Pulp Fiction.
