o The chosen genre is Crime/Mystery. Crime consists of murders,

mysteries and detective work.

o Mystery is very similar, but the main protagonist is

usually a detective or spy.

o It usually begins with a criminal committing a crime, which allows the

heroic character (superhero, undercover or regular cop) to save the city from the

current crimes committed.

To A detective with two identities, who is displayed to

be the protagonist and antagonist. A man stuck between two worlds, deciding what he should really be as the protagonist, he is an undercover cop, but

as the antagonist, he is a criminal mastermind, known as Kronos. The dahlia flower will be a huge

importance to the protagonist because it will represent his dead mother, symbolically.

o The dahlia flower will be tattooed in the top part of his back, so it is not easily identified to those around him, as his clothes will

naturally be covering it. In the same tattoo, there will be a code to introduce his SHARD heist (the 87 storey skyscraper used for

business, office, hotel rooms and restaurants).

o The code is “74273”, the reason for this chosen specific code is that, is the SHARD was spelt out in the numbers from the classic mobile phone keyboard, then it would

spelt as “74273”. We as a group, agreed that the name of the film should be the code, because it sounds quite

mysterious and unique from all the other Mystery/Crime films.

o The tattoo on the protagonist's top part of the back will also be the logo for the film.

o The dahlia flower expresses sentiments of dignity and elegance. It is also the symbol of a commitment and bond that lasts forever. So this presents the protagonist’s mother’s personality.

o The design will be the code, bordered with s black line around it, then the dahlia flowers surrounding it, like a border of the flowers. We will try to animate the flower border, so its moves and grows out the black bordered text .

CASTING:

As we only going to introduce only the detective/

protagonist in the opening, this character will be the only cast member. However, it may be possible to include one or two

character, if it was really necessary.
