Since not many of you aren't familiar with TV interviews and how they work, hereâs what you need to know. When you walk in you usually have a moment or two before the cameras roll. During this time they sometimes put a microphone on you, or sometimes they are fixing the room. Either way, you usually have a few moments to get yourself situated. What Iâve found that's helpful is when Iâm going to ask about something thatâs not expected, Iâll usually mention before the interview starts that Iâll be talking about it, that way the person Iâm interviewing has a quick answer on the subject.
So when I sat down and they were setting up for my interview with Martin, I asked if heâd seen âHot Fuzzâ and would he mind talking about it. I also mentioned that I sort of knew Edgar and Simon and that if we spoke about it Iâd send them a link to the interview as I figured theyâd get a kick out of it. He said itâd be cool, and then the interview started. So when you get to the âHot Fuzzâ question and he looks at the cameraâ¦.thatâs the reason. He's talking to Simon and Edgar...
But before getting to the interview, hereâs what you need to know about âCollege Road Trip.â
The film stars Martin as an overprotective father that isnât quite ready to let go of his college bound daughter - who is played by Disney Channel favorite Raven-Symonei.
In the film, Melanie (Raven-Symone) is eagerly looking forward to her first big step towards independence when she plans a âgirls onlyâ road trip to check out prospective universities. But when her overbearing police chief father (Martin Lawrence) insists on escorting her instead, she soon finds her dream trip has turned into a nightmare adventure full of comical misfortune and turmoil.
While the adventure could have easily gone for R rated laughs and situations, since itâs a Walt Disney movie and rated G, itâs completely safe for the whole family. Finally, if you want to watch some movie clips from "College Road Trip" click here.
