Tv crime dramas such as The Bill and Spooks have influenced my thriller in many ways. For example, there're a lot of low angle shots used in The Bill which I have applied to my thriller. Through watching these dramas, it has helped me get a better understanding of how camera angles are used to create an atmosphere or a certain trait of a character, for example a low angle shot would be used to show a character is dominant and superior. Spooks has the typical thriller convention of noir. The lighting and costume for it is all very dark. I have been inspired by this and this is reflected in my characters costume: Scott's long dark coat and black boots.
In The Bill there's a very dominant female character, who plays the role of an officer. She dresses very sophisticated and modern. I have been inspired by her characters costume for Abigail- modern but still sophisticated with the secutary costume.
