Character profile #1

My first character is named Jax Power, he is one of the main detectives that will be present in my main task. He is a unique, quirky character who is conventional and unconventional in different aspects. He is charismatic and fun as opposed to the regular gritty mysterious detective characters often used in films and TV. He is not taken seriously by most people, yet is surprisingly good at his job. He is a stereotypical "loser" and lives in somewhat of his own dream world.

Typography Ideas

I went onto 1001fonts and looked at a few fonts that could be suitable for my main task, I wanted something bold and powerful, so it has connotations of a detective precinct. The typography will be used during the title credits, and also when the camera cut-zooms on characters and the graphic I will be creating pops up. I can use multiple fonts but they need to be very similar, and used in appropriate ways so they aren't scattered all over the film opening.

Main Task Ideas

I have a few thoughts on a few key narrative aspects my main task can have. I will most likely change it a bit, but for the moment i have a general thought about the narrative and a few elements that will be shown within my work. I previously posted a clip of Brooklyn Nine Nine, and I would like to film my main task in the style used within the TV show. I would also like to loosely base it around a comedic detective / criminal theme.

For the 2 minute opening I would like to have the scene set in a line up room, with 3 or 4 perps lined up against the wall, the detectives will discuss what each perp did, while showing it in a flashback sequence for each one. I will research into different crimes each perp could commit, and find ways to make each comedic, and ways to film it with different characters.

I would like to incorporate Photoshop into my work, by zooming into each perp individually, followed by an edited picture of them shown  in the opening of Brooklyn Nine Nine, i will add picture examples below. Within these pictures I will add what crime they committed, their name, and I will also add a catchy sound cue whenever this happens.
