so question i guess about... if director or another.. of movie, how(information..) he/they is create(portrayed) real scene about possessed children..
It's a lazy attempt to get someone else to do their homework.
The OP wants to see how effective possessed children are at creating terror/suspense within the genre. So the 'how' would extent to the roles they portray, how they're filmed etc. It's a direct question, it's a discussion. I'm not going to answer it but this is what i'd imagine the OP is looking for
"Children are associated with innocence and need protecting, they're successfully utilised in the horror genre by subverting this convention. Characters often don't see them as threat and let their guard down whereas the audience are aware of their threat which creates tension. They're often shot with so and so and framed against. In films such as Don't Look Now, it's the audiences associative thoughts of children that make the end so haunting"

Possessed children is usually always effective because as stated by PyroTramp "Children are associated with innocence and need protecting...", and thats EXACTALLY it. The social norm of children are that they are passive and need guidence and therefor in movies where the children are possessed and murdering people and plotting crimes and whatnot, it creates a stir because it is not normal. And I think thats how SO MANY horror movies do so well especially in Vampire/Zombie/Creature/Demon genre because people like to be scared of the unknown and ununual in this case: Possessed Children.
Well, that's all I really have to say on the subject. Its an interesting concept that your working on in your course. Did you get to pick the subject? Or was it assigned?

I've seen enough possessed children in my local supermarket (who are not getting their way.)
