are u doing classic crime fiction? that's farily simple: isolated setting, close cirlce of suspects, esoteric detective, red herrings, etc. Just basic stuff...don't you have any material on this??? if ur really having trouble try the NSW HSC Online website or try finding other sites
and whats ur chosen text? core text? basically the factors that make a text part of the crime fiction genre is that it follows the conventions and formula of the genre..so just identify the elements of the genre evident in ur chosen text.

this isnt much, only one sheet that i have, but its a good summary, hope it helps. this is for classical crime fiction.
characteristics of classic crime fiction:
closed wall environment set: (eg, boat, manor, island, train, village, etc.)
involving only upper or middle classes
amateur criminal: commits crime for personal reasons
determining the mechanic of a crime becomes the major part of the investigative process.
solving the puzzle is the central theme
intellectualised almost sterile approach
unusual and amateur detectives at time, Miss Marple, Poirot
Closed environment both physically and socially
Intellectual, social and moral dimensions are clearly defined
More inclined to finish with a restoration of social harmony and balance

If ur doing film noir, we just started that, so i cant really help u out there. classical is all weve done.
