9:08I Broke Silly Laws In Front Of The Police
Save referenceStakes & Tension
A pint in one hand and a cow on a lead points to an old British law against being drunk in charge of cattle. A real officer stands a few feet away. The law sounds daft, so will Max actually get arrested?
'Silly' tells you nobody gets hurt, and 'In Front Of The Police' adds the risk, since a daft law only matters if someone could enforce it.
The officer faces away, so you can't read their reaction, and the yellow POLICE jacket is the first thing you see at feed size.
When your video tests whether an odd rule is really enforced, show yourself breaking it with the person who enforces it in frame. Turn that person away from camera so the viewer can't guess the outcome.
Break the rule in front of the person who enforces it.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
