Wallander- new crime drama

After watching the first 2 minutes of the crime drama Wallander, I have gotten some ideas for our crime drama, in terms of the credit sequence.
The crime drama started off with a short introduction of the characters, where a crime was taking place. The scene ended on a low angle shot via a hand held camera of the victims, when screams were heard. This is an excellent technique as it gets the audience hooked and wanting to find out what exactly happened.
The credit sequence revolved around the word 'Wallander' with a rule of 2! Yellow and black were used, these 2 colours weren't too bold, but more precise and simple. Through the credit sequence, each letter of Wallander was enlarged, with this a character was shown. Also, in small letters, were the key names written. The credit sequence consisted of a montage sequence, whereby the images on the screen were accompanied by soft music in the background. This enables the audience to relax while reading the credit sequence.
I have had many ideas from watching a short clip of this new crime drama, the main one being that our crime drama does not need to consist of actions entirely, instead we can use words as the background and place certain elements from our crime drama as part of the whole image.
