Pitching Ideas for A New Crime Drama
Name:
An acronym (CSI, NCIS)
IOCO - Institution of Criminal Offences.
Type of Crime Drama:
A mixture of Forensic & Investigation which will intrigue the audience as the idea is new and different.
Characters:
In this Crime Drama there will be a team of people they will all have different personalities for instants:
-Genius (Medium Height, White, Male, British)- Scientist
-Sexy (Medium Height, Elegant, Blond, American White, Fierce) – Detective/Fighter
-Former Soldier (Tall, African- American, Male) – Determined/Fighter
-Humours (Short, Female, British, White) - Rookie
Other professionals will help throughout the episodes such as the police and other crime investigation units.
Structure of Show:
Series: Each Episode is self contained (CSI, Sherlock)
I am certain that if I choose a series more people will be able to enjoy my crime drama as each episode is different and they don’t lead on to other episodes only if it’s a special episode. 25 episodes, 1 hour each, the final episode is a two-part episode.
Typical Narrative:
Restricted Narrative (Closed), the audience find out as much information as the team knows and together they begin to solve the crime throughout the episode. The team go to scene of the crime, interview witnesses, ect to solve the crime.
Setting:
They have an office and a laboratory which is their main HQ which will be based in London, but they roam the streets and rural areas in which the crime was at to find out clues and victims/suspects.
Style:
In my Crime Drama I will have a lot of Slick Editing involved as I know it will attract the audience. Humour will occur regularly as everyone likes a good laugh every now on then, but the humour will only occur away from the crimes. The pace will be a quick paced as I feel that if the crime drama is slow it will bore the audience. It will be both Rural and City to give a different aspect to a crime drama, the main city will be London as it will be interesting due to the huge amount of people living there. The Crime Drama will consist in Extreme Crime as I know by doing this it will be more interesting.
