To incorporate the video artist Jean-Luc Godard into a sketch comedy piece, we are going to have one of the actors look into the lens to break the fourth wall. JLG was very much about making the audience aware of the camera and crew's presence. In his pieces, he always wanted to remind the audience that they were in fact watching a film.
Therefore having an actor look directly into the camera will bring the audience into the piece and remind them that they are watching a movie and that suspending their disbelief is not our intention, just like JLG. This is the most logical cinematic element of his that we can seamlessly incorporate into the piece.
