Set pieces

The laboratory(csi) Typical in some crime dramas rather than other e.g. csi it involves chemcial tubes and clases, lab coats, goggles, test tubes, photos, documents, laptops......... It plays a big part in csi due to the fact the loction of the headquaters are located here.

Interrigation scene= Tape, two chairs, two or 3 detectives, class of water, cornored of room( small ) one way mirrors including police and detectives in the background. Have pictures of the crime scene.
Eureka monemnt= camera would pan around the area which is( in some cases in shallow depth of focus/field.If this was the case then the the depth of field would instaintly change back. ) the room is usally in a police station around an occasionally full office full of desks with papers, pens, case files. The interrigation scene really helps us get to know a character more in depth and helps us revial their weaker side.

Inital crime investigation= Usually taken place with many detectives. Includes whitboards with pictures of victims or possible allies. Lots of officers and desks and reports and coffie etc..... This scene is important because we get to have an insight on how the police work.

The arrest/confession= Usally alot of cops near by or if its not a buddy cop show then it will just be the one dectective e.g. luther. Sometimes invovles a 'dash' moment. Usually alot of police cars occasionaly in the dark with the lights on. Occasionaly cordoned off areas. This scene is important to the end of the scene seeing as it raps up the story, case solved.

Crime flashback= A montage or flashback of important moments of the crime. These scenes will involve the typical stuff such as blood, knifes, guns, the victim in a pretty bad state or dead. Could be outside or inside. These are improtant because they add to are knowladge what happens whislt hiding it from the characters. Makeing us feel more invovled and smarter than the characters themselfs.

The 'dash'= Fast panning of camera sometimes done down alley ways or busy streets to hide the crimnal from everyone else to make the dash scene more intesne to find him or her involved in the chase. This scene adds a more adventours outlook on the show, keeping us ingaged.

The notification of kin( telling the of family memeber once you have died )= can be at the victims home. Never much going on usually a ordinary family enviroment, dark lighting with the occasional light around. This scene helps add more vairaty ( shock and confusion/ pull at the heartstrings. )

The autospy= Dead bodies, labcoats with sciencetists investigation, see through whiteboards with diagrams of dna etc... microscopes, scapels, laptops computers. This scene is much loved by csi fans. Helping us understand what actually happens in the world of forensic science.

Press conference= minor group of detectives, papers/pens, tap recorders, news reporters, family asking for help, grieivng familes. This scene( like the scene above ) helps us understand what he police force do behind possibly closed doors.
