Minor Project: Potential Scene- Blade Runner

Despite it being a huge film I have decided to consider the opening from Blade Runner where a replicant is being screened by a Blade Runner using the Voight-Kampff test which involves bizarre question to provoke an emotional response and ultimately give up whether someone is human or a replicant.  This scene is has a lot of potential for what I want to achieve because it features two very different characters which include one who is not a standard character by any means, he is essentially a human who has a differently functioning brain which makes him a hard character to portray because you have to act like someone who is acting human, to act someone who is acting is thought to be one of the hardest skills because good acting goes almost unnoticed because you're supposed to believe the character is real. This means then that acting as someone who is acting is incredibly hard because you have to draw people's attention to your acting without it being mistaken as bad acting, should I choose to do this scene it will be fairly difficult for me to get the actor in this mind set but this isn't a big enough challenge to deter me from this scene.

With regards to the technicalities of making the scene, it would have to be 'de-sc-fied' somewhat, by this I mean that the props and setting would have to be made a lot less cyber punk and a lot more do able for someone on my budget. However, the basics of the scene are perfectly do able, its a table and two chairs, replace the eye scanner with a laptop or a camera, give him a pen and paper to make notes with and we have a scene that serves the same purpose and doesn't lose anything in the process that will help the actors to engage with their roles. With the character's themselves they are the most blank canvas of all of the scenes I have considered as anyone could be the replicant and theres not a great deal that special about the blade runner either in all honesty meaning I could fairly easily add my own twist to this scene with relative ease, in fact I could quite easily just mimic this scene with any interview scenario and still keep the fundamentals of this scene just change the scenario. The characters themselves however are something I would definitely like to at least mimic in some way because as I mentioned with the notion of an actor playing an actor is a hard one to get right and I am somewhat interested to see if I could do it. There are endless possibilities with this scene though, I could in theory just do it completely improv and just give the actors their motivations while they are apart, for example: Actor A, You're a detective trying to find out where B has hidden the money they stole in a heist last week. Actor B, you're trying to do whatever you can to wind up and annoy A so that they get violent or threaten you so the interview ends. Something on that line is basic but if the characters are truly in the head of their character and are committed to their portrayal then it wouldn't a problem for that scene to play out without a script and with little direction other than their motivations. This is a similar scenario to Blade Runner but still original so that the actors aren't copying a previous scene, whether this will manifest into a final scene or just be an exercise like I suggested with Locke remains to be seen. In summary of this scene and the prospect of using it as my final piece, it is a relatively easy set up made more complex by props which I don't necessarily have to include in my scene, the acting is really good predominately how the two react to each other in a cat and mouse manner and how one actor is a character who is himself acting. It is also good how this scene can be moulded into anything I see fitting really as long as it is some kind of interview. There is a lot of scope for improv which is a strong tool for an actor to show they're in character so I would like to include that where I can and it is looking like this will be the perfect platform to do so.
