Genre Research: Crime

I chose crime as I felt that it would be a good genre to use for our own production piece. It has become clear to me, however, that crime is viewed as a sub genre, and so I had difficulty finding explicit 'crime' films.

As a result, I focused on films that I am familiar with, as I know that they have important crime themes running through them. I chose to look at the popular 2010 film, Inception, due to its underlying crime storyline. Sherlock Holmes is another film I have focused on, as most of the common crime conventions have arisen from its origin.

Sherlock Holmes is an extremely well known crime fiction piece, and is probably one of the most popular detective based texts.
