In a crime thriller, there is an immediate introduction to the crime so that the audience is interested in what is about to occur in the film. The crime then becomes more disturbing through out the film and there may even be more than one crime committed. Silence is used to keep the narrative moving by creating suspense and mystery. The setting is realistic and relatable so that the audience can feel for characters if they are in danger or envy characters if they are free riding. The setting also reflects the lifestyle of the protagonist as in a city there is a fast pace to coincide with the occurrences, while in a quiet village the pace may be slower.
The protagonist is seeking answers as the crime committed may connect with the past of the protagonist. Also the protagonist appears normal but may have a dark secret or may appear intelligent. The stereotypes are very potent in the opening, especially women as they are seen cooking and cleaning and being eye candy for the males of the film. The settings are typical for a crime thriller as they are not typical places for thrillers to happen. The dark lighting is used in these places to create atmosphere.
