Semiotics – Criminal Minds Shelby Edmunds
Editing - Hero The heroes in Criminal minds
get shown with clear shots of their faces/bodies
They are surrounded by bright lighting
They take up most of the episode with the majority of the shots focused on them as they are trying to work out the case
They are the emphasis in most shots as they are the key
Editing - Villain
The villain is very mysterious as you aren’t supposed to know who they are until the very end
The lighting is very dark surrounding any shots of the villain
The villain isn’t shown in as many shots as they don’t want to give anything away too soon
Music: Heroes VS Villains
When it comes to revealing a scene in which the villain is going to take his next victim the music changes to how it would show heroes
When he kills his victim the music becomes very fast and in a minor key
When the heroes have music in a major key
The music is more happy or relaxing as opposed to trying to cause a stressful atmosphere
It can be more slow, flowing, a nice piece of music to compliment the feelings
Characters - Heroes People who play the hero are people

Morgan– a strong, team-player, attractive
Spencer – smart, wise
JJ & Emily - confident, happy, smart, attractive
They have the lifestyle which makes the viewer want to follow
