CONVENTIONS OF CHILD HORROR

This information of codes and conventions of child horror is useful as it helped us gather information of what props to use for our own movie. For example by using the scary prop of a "doll" that is evil and plays the bad, haunting character will be used in our film to make the film more creepy as dolls have a scary atmosphere specifically when they come to life and haunt people with their spirits. Moreover we will be using specific sound codes of horror such as scary chilrens lullaby music to again reflecting back to child horror and we will use to show a sign of death and revenge from the scary doll that will be used. Moreover, sound codes such as giggles and laughter coming from a young girl will be used to show how she succeeded in her bitter revenge and shows how she is plotting danger. We will also intend to use a scary narrative scenery to film our scary movie as it is seen as major horror convention as if the scenery is scary then automatically the audience will get a frightening atmosphere!
