Low key lighting - emphasises the negative storyline, adds to the audiences' thrill when something happens in the plot.
Protagonist in the mercy of the antagonist - usually a scene which depicts the protagonist captured by the antagonist in which they must escape from.

Usual theme of destruction - something is destroyed e.g. buildings, and important artifact etc.
Hero - usually someone is proclaimed victorious after a conflict.
Mystery
Unsolved crime - creates the mystery.
Centred around the protagonist - usually a detective solving the case, might involve them in someway.
Clues - lead to ending the mystery; DNA, objects etc. Sometimes they are places there on purpose.
Setting - crime usually taken place in a house or outside. Potentially shows an office where the research takes place.
