The Detective

The Detective is represented as a strong powerful man who is moped into a whirlwind of love and heartbreak. He appears to be shown as someone many people would know of, due to his roughed edge he is someone people know about whether it is because of a good cause or a bad one... The way he portrays himself is strong, and full of power. People would be intrigued by his presence. However, holding all this power there are flaws, he is somehow vulnerable yet doesn't show it often. He leads a life he isn't proud of, they way he has acted and what he has seen has taunted him for years. After years of horrific cases being landed on top of him he is believed to be the only person with the initiative to undertake them and produce sustainable results.
After dealing with the case of his true love, he feels betrayed finding out what she has done could only break his heart a million times. Someone he trusted, opened his soul to find it was someone who wasn't themselves. A false name, a false identity she worn for weeks while he feel deeper in love to lead to with heartbreak and misery. He has to let her go, destroying himself after the truth is revealed he knows he cannot live this way.

Mise-en-scene
They usually wear stereotypical formal clothing, including trench coats, hats and suits. This particular type of clothing is associated with superiority. Their scenes usually involve a series of props including a standard glass of whiskey and a cigarette in their hand. These props can create a mixture of reactions, one assumption I create is that the detective is run down or he is not happy with his life so he has turned towards these addictions.

Cinematography
When the detective is being filmed he is shown as a superior character, meaning that some of the shots used on him will show this. They will be placed slightly beneath him so the camera is looking up to him. These types of shots are putting the audience in a frame which shows that the person holds dominance and most likely somebody that everyone knows about whether it's positive or negative.

Sound
His accent is noticeable hearing it once you will feel like it is familiar. His common American accent demonstrates a sense of hospitality and realism, that he is someone who is local and approachable. The people within his area know whom he is as he carries this detective stamp on himself.
