Conventions of Crime Thrillers

• Flashbacks will be used, not nessarcerily in order
• Music will be set to create tension and eariness
• Binary Opposites-Protagonist and Antagonist
• Protagonist is normally detective, with the villain being the antagonist
• Questions will be raised, normally at the crime scene
• Confusing with many twists in the narrative
• One detective may be serious and well experienced, while another is inexperienced and takes his job as a joke
• Unconventional problem solving-Detective makes it harder for himself and gets drawn in to the problems
