Research for costume.

I did some research into what uniforms detectives and police wear, and I have created a mood board of pictures of both uniforms.

Here is the uniform of some of the London and Met police. In my research the TV Drama 'The Bill', was a good source. For a police uniform, we could use a white shirt, black tie, and black trousers. We could customise the outfit by adding the black shoulder pieces, and by adding a fake badge.

Here are the images I researched for the costume for a detective/interrogator. There are a mixture of old fashioned, and more modern costumes for the character. The detective looks smart, a stripy tie or plain tie looks good on an interrogator, as I have seen it in a few movies. A man in a suit would be ideal for an investigator/interrogator. It wouldn't really matter what sort of suit it was, as a lot of the outfits I researched varied.

Here are some costumes and faces that may be useful when picking the actor as well. The costume the 'bad guy' would wear would be more of a casual suit, they will still look important, but not as formal as police or the investigator. Above is another good picture of what the criminal would look like, he is more of a business man criminal.

Here is also the type of coat one of our characters might have if we shot in London:
