The Detective

Today when doing our new test shoot/reccy, we tried out my brother Jon as our protagonist, the detective. He is meant to be in his late 20s/early 30s and constantly overworked. He looks rough with his sleeve rolled up, tie loosened and top button undone and will constantly be seen drinking coffee to stop himself falling asleep. In our clip he is obsessing over a serial killer who he has been following for weeks. He has evidence about the killings up on his board and the whole desk is a total mess of papers and notes he has discarded. He works in dim light so as not to be distracted by other things, and this makes the location look more sinister. It will also mean we will not need to use much artificial light in his scenes as he is illuminated by the lamp.

The first minute or so of the film will focus on him and his paranoia about the house as he tries to solve his impossible case.
