Group: Genre Decision

Crime Thriller

• The dark and pycological themes of thriller appeals to the group and sparks ideas of dark streets in urban areas.
• We want to conform to sterotypes of "The narrative often involves a hero or protagonist who is the only person who can solve the puzzle laid out by the serial killer or antagonist. The solution is never or rarely supernatural and adds to the realism that creates the fear." As said in Alex's Genre Conventions post.
• The decision of crime is inspired by the sherlock holmes film and tv drama,and a film noir style would allow for us to practice lighting and camera positioning techniques.

• Film noir: A subgenre of crime fiction consisting of often a lone mildly rouge cop that solves the crimes.
• The key lighting technique used are using large amounts of contrast and spotlights and the classic stripped blinds effect.
