Dialogue

We want to in the first part of the scene create a sympathetic feel for the father so no dialogue will be used and non diagetic background music will set the tone and induce sympathy from our audience.

Contrasting with this, when the scene tranfers to the little girl, unsettling background music will increase slightly from a low tone to a more dramatic overtone which is also a code for our horror/thriller genre. This slight increase will coincide with the slow zoom into the mascara ridden face. The first piece of dialogue and last, will be from this little girl who starts to sing 'Ring a ring a roses' to herself while rocking back and forth in the corner. The pace will increase as the camera zooms into her face which ends on a startling shot of herself bursting into the light which will also have a bang to coincide with her sharp movement. Finally the faster pace symbolises her adrenaline and also the use of the slow zoom and faster pace of music leading into a dramatic shock is relevant to our codes of a horror/thriller genre.
