conventions of the genre: some common conventions of a horror film are the setting, character tropes and high end special effects. horror films are usually set in secluded or abandoned areas such as houses or small towns and the action never leaves these areas throughout the course of the film. the character archetypes of horror films usually remain consistent across all horror films (jock, nice guy, last survivor, etc). special effects are key for horror films as they are larger than life and often based outside the realm of reality.

conventions of the genre: the conventions of animated children's films are bright colours, love able, easy to relate to characters and narratives with good morals. bright, vibrant colours are used to attract and retain the attention of young children, and the combination of relatable characters and good morals will leave a good impression and set a good example for the young audience.
