'Pearlman and Carter'  Comedy Crime Drama

I chose to make a comedy drama about two detectives solving crimes and mysteries. One male, the other female. Examples of shows which do this are, Death in Paradise (BBC) and Doctor Who (BBC). I plan to create a trailer around the 30-50 second mark. The main character (Detective Inspector Pearlman) will have a unique personality, that is socially awkward, comes across funny, most interesting, but also really clever. The other character (Detective Inspector Carter) is the person who gets things back on track and also acts as Perlman's assistant/carer. I am still unsure on what the show can be called (Maybe Pearlman and Carter?).

Thinking about costumes, I had a good idea about what Pearlman could wear. I wanted him to look the part and had that 'unique' feel about him. I wanted people to take him visually seriously, but that doesn't mean people will (comedy element).

A tweed jacket, with a few variants of hoodies and T-shirts because I wanted him to look professional but also quite stylish at the same time. Also black jeans which overlaps onto his boots. As for Carter, she would wear black clothing, like a leather jacket which would also look quite stylish in comparison to Pearlman.



As for shooting footage, a mixture of daylight and darkness would be good because of changing the atmosphere a bit, this will make the scenes a lot more eye grabbing to look at. Lets say 60% of daylight and 40% of night time. By using night time, it will give us a proper mysterious dramatic feel of what solving crimes would be like in the dark, this also sets your own imagination to explore. I want to film some really good atmospheric night time scenes with torches and spooky lighting.  Camera angels I want to include are mid shots, wide shots, over the shoulder shots, close ups, and a low angle. I will really try to make it professional looking, just like a proper BBC One trailer as you would see on TV.

I will record audio with an audio recorder in the moment. But with some scenes I will record audio after filming and sink it over the top until it's perfect. This will be better as recording in a quiet room will work well with no annoying background noises. The sounds I will include will be dialogue, sound effects (car sounds, doors closing, etc), and music, which will be me playing the piano over the top.
