Evaluation part 1-In what ways does your media project use, develop or change, codes and conventions of chsen genre

Typical codes and conventions of a crime/drama film would be:
- A chase (usually car).
- A lot of involvement with props that can be harmful such as knifes or guns.
- The villain (protagonist) would usually have some unidentified problems that will be revealed at the very end of the film.
- The hero (protagonist) who saves everyone will have a partner (usually very intelligent or very dopey).
- Characters will usually include someone vulnerable and gangs.
- Crimes will usually be murder/dramas will usually be to do with family of the protagonist.
- Conflicts due to difference in policing.
- Someone’s private life becoming public.
- Betrayal.
Our story idea Conforms with most of these although we challenge conventions such as the protagonist having a partner making him work alone to achieve his goal, our title sequence doesn't feature any weapons such as knifes or guns but we had plan for use of them in the full story.
Our story does feature a chase of sorts as the story is a man attempting to chase down another man taking justice into his own hands.
