A lot of the costumes in crime dramas are very casual clothing but include lots of dark colours. These might be to signify the darkness of that certain character or the type of profession they work in. An example of this is Brian Mills from Taken as we find out that he has done Karate and Self Defence in the past and his costume shows his personality and we see that he is not afraid to hurt anyone severely.
This links a lot to our crime thriller as we want the audience to be able to depict who is the our main protagonist and what personality they have just with the clothes that they will wear.
Setting
A lot of settings in crime dramas use city and towns as they show that a certain place couldn't be pleasant and that there are gangs about in the certain city or area doing stuff like drug dealing and doing illegal stuff. An example of this is Attack the block because the movie shows a lot of urban locations and the iconography with gangs drug dealing. This links with our film because we want to use very urban locations to show that something bad is going on in the city. This will be used as a idea of foreboding as our protagonist is falsely accused for drug deal when she didn't do it and has been set up by someone else.

Props
A lot of crime dramas use a lot of props linking to death and illegal stuff to show that the characters are not pleasant. Examples of this can include guns and illegal drugs such as heroin and cocaine as they try to make the audience believe that what they are doing is wrong and against the law. Examples of movies that use these type of props include Pulp Fiction as they show two people breaking the law by taking guns around with them and making illegal drug deals. This links to our film as the villain makes an illegal drug deal by buying a bag of cocaine and slipping it into the protagonists handbag and the irony of the film is that our protagonist is innocent.
Lighting
A lot of crime dramas use a bit of lighting to show a certain mood about the place. Examples of lighting can include low level lighting as they can determine a certain characteristic about the place, the situation and the villain and what they are like. An example of this is The Joker from The Dark Knight as the lighting represents the Joker's personality as well as Batman. This links to our film as we want to use a lot of low level lighting to show a sense of foreboding and that something isn't right.
