When considering the mise en scene of my horror film I wish to follow all of the conventions previously used by other films because they are used for the very reason they were created. They work. So using the media language theory I hope to effectively apply these conventions as the connotations of the signs are dependant on the person entirely. Their age, culture, gender ect are all factors that will change and mould a persons interpretation of a scene, prop, costume, colour. So I will use key conventions throughout my horror film to ensure the desired perspectives are addressed and understood.
Looking further within the genre I researched some Photographers of the horror genre. This helped me to create my ideas and to conclude my thoughts about costumes, makeup and even the casting. I found the key conventions within nearly every photo I looked through, my favoruite photographer being:

I love the colour schemes and makeup this photographer has used, and will definitely consider her work when I come to experiment with Harriets makeup. Another photo she has is the photo of a woman with a doll. This is again an aspect of horror that has interested me and I planned to use dolls within my horror piece as props in the background giving off the uncomfortable feelings associated with the dolls.
