·         A Criminal Act – Usually in crime films there will be the focus of a criminal act for example in The Silence of the Lambs the criminal act that is committed is the focusing on the serial killer that skins his victims.



·         Weapons – In most crime films there is a weapon that is used to kill the victim, for example in The Godfather there is the use of a gun which is the weapon.



·         Special FX Makeup – This is used to make the injuries to the victims look realistic, for example when there is an open wound they are able to show the audience a believable look of it.
