Coventions of Horror.

Children sometimes seem to be the vulnerable person however they can turn out to be the antagonist by some sort of ghost entering them and they begin to attack there family and not sure how to stop.

Slow/long shots making the scene more intense, this makes sure it will see the difference in pace of shot when they want the audience to start getting scared.

Suspense building music, changing from slow to fast to make the audience feel scared and that the antagonist is coming

There is always an antagonist and a vulnerable person who will be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The antagonist will look creepy/scary have a low voice and usually from a different culture.

The titles in a horror film tend to be bold and white against a black background, They are played against deep music  which allows the audience to feel like they are entering danger

Mise-en-scene is shown by the costumes, they tend to dress the actors/actresses in normal clothes and set the scenes in normal locations like their homes or a supermarket to make the audience able to relate to where they are which allows them to link there lifestyles into the film.

Blood, knives ad guns are a usual convention which is almost always shown in a horror film. There will be a dark creepy house which is in an abandoned place or a person caught somewhere not being able to escape with someone torturing them.
