Final Sub-genre analysis

Final sub-genre 

A decision to go with crime thriller was made after researching several other thriller sub-genres such as horror. The crime thriller genre revolves around a specific crime or pursuit of criminal, we feel as if this will be challenging and exciting to portray. We have chosen to focus on the crime of Abduction after looking at other films for inspiration: 

-The Talented Mr Ripley (Identify theft and fraud)
- Snatch (Robbery)
-Se7en (Murder) 

To keep within the crime thriller genre we will have to use iconography that represents the genre and the target audience, these would include darkly dressed antagonists and weapons to emphasise the deviance of the character.

The narrative will have to be circulated around a crime, and the investigating the crime. The start will introduce a crime, setting up a task for the film and the audience to unravel it as it goes along.

Typography is important in a crime thriller, it should be sharp and represent confusion by having a distorted style. Thus repressing the genre and relating to the audiences expectations.


The stereotypical locations for a crime thriller is a dark place, low key lighting is used, the locations are usually large cities, however a town or village will create an equally tense and exciting affect.
