Recipe For A Crime Drama
Investigators re-open an old, unsolved case.
Include several Flashbacks to the original crime in black and white or sepia tone.
Periodically insert cool rock tunes from mid-1970's or golden oldie from the 1940's.
If old, unsolved case can involve crime(s) against children, so much the better.
Have flashbacks to the abused life of child in old, unsolved crime.
Camera operator should suffer from severe delirium tremors to provide the passe, shaky, "NYPD Blue" style of camera work shots.
Insert aging mystery character who knew all along who the real guilty party was in the unsolved crime, but was unable to prove it.
Detectives or investigators uncover brand new, overlooked, or hidden evidence.
Make sure modern day scientific technology and forensics re-examine evidence bringing forth new results because said technology did not exist at time of original crime.
Insert mystery character of crooked cop or crooked detective who intentionally buried the real evidence in favor of a payoff from crooked politician or evil industrialist.
Continue series of flashbacks in black and white or sepia tone.
Insert sudden memory recollection of character who then brings this information to the investigators or detectives.
Insert chase scene where guilty party almost escapes from authorities.
Insert flashback to original crime showing real guilty party committing the crime.
If original crime involved child, show child as present day adult.
Insert flashback of child morphing into adult witnessing/remembering/recalling the original crime.
Insert flashback of guilty party acknowledging the presence of then child in scenario of original crime.
Close program with real guilty party grimacing into camera as they are being led away by police.
For ending sequence, insert cool rock tune from mid-1970's or a 1940-1950 era golden oldie remixed with techno or trance overlays.
Fade To Black With 70's rock tune or 40-50's golden oldie remixed with techno or trance music plays under fade.
