The Location: The location of choice was originally going to be a warehouse, I thought that many in my research a number of locations are rather rough and industrial. Batman Begins for example effectively uses this effect. However, along with the key issue of finding such an area in addition to recieving permission to use it, I found that a House as a crime scene can actually be done rather well. as it has been in films such as 'Se7en', Given that two of the more gruesome murders took place in 1. An apartment block (Sloth) and 2. A suburban house (Gluttony). The story would also carry on to show murders of an increasingly violent, disturbing and confusing style later on in the film and that would essentially work as a inpromptu time frame, that if the detectives couldn't figure out the case the next would be increasingly horrific. The murder aspect essentially gives the film its crime element while the time frame idea gives it that strong pacing found in thrillers, essentially working against the clock.
Characters: As it stands there are two main characters in our piece, Both of which are detectives yet one is older and more experienced, not only was this idea concieved from yet again, the 'Se7en analogy. But more specifically, from my Skyfall research, I found that two main characters that vary in style and attitude can be rather refreshing for a concept. In 'Skyfall' Bonds Reckless attitude conflicts and contrasts with that of Moneypenny's, yet that is rather interesting in itself, the audience is treated to two different working styles, and the fact that both characters have their own pro's and con's in our piece, the concept would lead on to Alex Cross, the younger detective, finding difficulty stomaching the Murderers MO and why he would commit the crime he has. For the older detective the concept would work around him discovering how innefective his police force is in handling this case, which in turn would lead the two to work outside of the normal box of thinking.
