We looked at an example of a crime-thriller called the Fugitive below is a trailer for the film
In the clip there is a suspenseful account of the successful crime of the murderer who killed the mans wife however he fails to prove his innocence and so gets sent to prison for committing a crime he did not do. It follows the conventions as it includes murder features within the film.
It glorifies the rise of the murderer as he got away with killing someone however also shows the fall as a innocent normal person doesn't get their justice.
This film challenges the conventions of a typical thriller as it isn't set in a crowded city and is set in a isolated area, which is all dark and gloomy, this insights the audience into what can still happen out of the city in a quiet place with normal people.
The man who has been imprisoned for the murder becomes a fugitive in the fight for justice for his wife.
There is a rivalry between the fugitive and the police force as they do not believe him that he did not kill his wife; also with the antagonist as he wants him to get punished for killing his wife.
Again this film challenges the typical conventions of the setting as it stays in one location and is not in a seedy interior location.
