How FMP will Conform or Depart

-Weapons
- In the short film the main character will only use a knife as a weapon being as its a quite way to kill espically over a gun.

Villain & Hero
- The main character is the film is seen as both a villain and a hero, a villain because he kills and a hero because he only kills other serial killers making him a hero.

Someone Vulnerable
- The main characters brother is seen as the vulnerable guy as hes skinny and nerdy and doesnt know of his brothers true self.

Drugs
 - Drugs are a small part in the film and not seen being used but seen being sold.

Murder
- Murder is a key part to the short film as murder is what makes our character known and what he thrives on.

Betrayal
- The idea of the main character killing is in itself like betrayal to his family. But at some point in the film he betrays his brothers trust.

Someone's private life becoming public
- Our main characters life doesnt become public but he does get found out, so I do believe this is a convention the film distances itself from.

Police
- Police are not seen at any point in the film, this is because he is not a suspect and doesnt work witht he police so they have no reason to be in or around the film. As the film isnt based on him being caught.
