Costume: Chief Inspector

Chief Inspector:

The character of the Chief Inspector is an unorthodox character who strays away from the norm from his angry persona and especially his costume as it is unofficial police wear that a character in his position would normally wear. For this character we will use: shirt with a lose tie, a coat/jack with no official police labelling and a slicked back hair style.

For this costume example I have added two pictures on the left above. One picture is of Andy Samberg and the other of Ice Cube, both in unofficial police wear but are also clear represented as police officers/detectives. I have selected two as the Chief Inspector is a complicated character and furthermore needed a larger visual representation to tie down his character in to specific aspects. The picture of Andy Samberg is a shirt and tie combination with an open top button but the important factor is that these particular clothing examples are more so of a casual nature in comparison to the typical shirt and tie combination a chief inspector, police officer or detective would use. The reason for the selection of this example is because our Chief Inspector character has an unorthodox angry persona and we have decided to dress him in a more contemporary casual non-official style. Under this picture is the picture of Ice Cube and in have added this for similar reasons as the Andy Samberg picture which is due to his non-official more casual style the is presented in the picture which is the approach of our characters costume that we want for our film opening for the Chief Inspector.

Towards the right above is a screen shot I have added from our film opening of the Chief Inspector onscreen in our selected costume. In this screen shot the character is wearing an unofficial police labelled coat and a shirt and tie combination with an open top button. It is clear that we have met our objectives for the costume of this character as it is how we have previously described we wanted it to be and also the unorthodox style adds to the genre conversions because the costume gives this character an dangerous sense due to his rebellious characteristics that may make the audience feel uncomfortable, as he isn't dressed official within a scene that has a graphic narrative.
