Planning: Character Costume

In our opening sequence the only present character will be our main protagonist. As mentioned he is a  detective for the police force and he is very cocky and humorous. To be able to portray this character we will need to get a appropriate costume for our actor to wear as our character will have his own style. I've envisioned him to still look professional but have his own twist on his attire, for example, id like him to wear a shirt and tie with smart trousers and shoes which would look appropriate for his job. However, instead of wearing a smart blazer to complete the suit, he could wear a leather or bomber jacket which will show his less formal side.

Brad Pitts Character of 'David Mills' from the movie 'Se7en' inspired me as his look shows what we would like to portray in our main character. His character in the movie is also very similar to the character we want to portray in our opening sequence. The compassion Mills exhibits translates into a overconfident or cocky behavior to the rest of the cops. Mills is a character controlled by emotion and throughout the film will show short-tempered responses. His costume helps portray the kind of person he is.David Mills wants to make a difference in the world. He fought to be assigned to a busier area, so that he could work big cases. He is dedicated and highly motivated, though a little over his head in the case depicted in Se7en. Admittedly, the film shows a once in a lifetime case, that would try any investigator. He is by nature hotheaded and impatient. He is prone to losing his temper and acting out violently when frustrated. As Sommerset puts it, he feeds off his emotions. Though this does not always serve him well, it also makes him physically courageous and a very dogged adversary. David Mills is younger and more athletic than his counterpart, and as a result he is more prone to physical action. He states that he has been involved in at least one shootout while on the job, and mentions other accomplishments. His physical stats are impressive for an essentially average guy. He engages in a long foot chase and running gun battle with John Doe in the second act of the film, and shows considerable speed and ability.
