Sound
There are different types of sounds used in ‘Key Witness’. The synchronous sounds used were the car door being shut. The diegetic sounds in the crime drama is the dialogue. This is very important as it creates the crime drama and allows the audience to understand what’s happening. The non-diegetic sound used is the background music.

Mise-en-Scene
The costumes worn by the detectives in 'Key Witness’ are very formal. The reason for this is because the detectives have to mirror their professional career. Detectives in contrast to uniformed police usually dress formal and investigative the crime and situation where as a uniformed presence would be either a distraction or intimidating but the need to establish police authority still exists. In ‘Key Witness’ the officers dress in plain clothes which attires consistency with that worn by the general public for purposes of blending in.
The props used in ‘Key Witness’ is a police tape which shows the significance of the crime and it also shows that a serious offence has been committed. Using a police tape makes the crime drama seem more realistic and it emphasises on the situation as being a serious offence. A gun was also used as a prop. The gun is used as the murder weapon so having a gun in the crime drama is important because it allows the crime to occur.
During the flash back the colour and lighting changes. The reason for this is because it shows the audience that we are in a different time zone.
The settings used in 'Key Witness' are a house, lab and an office. These locations show the conventions used in a crime drama. The house scene is where the murder takes place this is significant because its the basis of the crime. The office scene shows a working environment as it represents a police atmosphere. A lab scene was also used showing the forensic side of the investigation. This can appeal to the audience because it shows a different side of policing so therefore it will interest the viewers and attract their attention.
The figure movement and expression in 'Key Witness' shows great importance because the facial expression of the female detective just before the flash back occurs symbolises importance because it's then when the audience figure out that the detective is in fact the murderer as her facial expression is tense and mysterious so you can guess straight away that something’s not right.
