Settings

Setting play a huge part of Crime Dramas as a variation of settings suggest different hings to the viewer about how the show will be illustrated.Different locations suggest different moods and feelings towards the series.


Luther:
-Is set in a council estate part of London, this gives the crime drama a darker side, compared to Sherlock as it is more glamorous and is set in a more posh part of London (Baker Street). Luther consits of alleyways which give a sense of unknown, this gives a scary feel to the Luther. Whereas if Luther was set in Baker Street it wouldn't give the same impact, Luthers personality would not mix well with a more glamours background. It will almost feel as if he is out of place. Luther's set is also very close to the River Thames which opens more crimes for the series.

CSI - CSI is set in an area which is seen as sexy and glamorous and this has been enhanced throughout the show by the up to date technology and 'pretty' characters. Having a beautiful setting you can come up with the idea that CSI is a Sombre show to watch. The crimes are usually set in front of loads of people but in some crimes no one notices that a crime is taking place, even though we know its impossible. The mass of people who are involved in the crime gives us more of worried sense, then if it was in the suburbs of New York or London.
