The 6th sense


Sixth sense is a well know an truely loved thriller one reason why is because it follows the thriller genre and all its coventions in a orginaly way . What sixth sense does is draw in the audience with a long and lenghty title sequence going through all the credits form the directers names prodcres ect. This is also done in away in witch the text credtis look like its dtrifting toward the screen alomost ghoast like in its aproach, this is thier to increase the inteasity and unease the audience.

As the scene begins from the title sequence it still only slowly brightens up with a dull light bulb this is to represent the darkness and countinue to unease the audince as they feel darkness is related to the unknown and a sense of danger

Another very important convention of a thriller the sixth sense show is the
convention of mysteroy and question as we come to see in the shot a women well dressed in a basment of her house looking for something, could be seen as a normal scene but what the director does with the mise-en-sence of the film is catch a camera angle with shows the woman next to her shadow to create a sense of her being watched and another angle shoing something watching her witch almost sub concouisly makes us as the view feel that someone else is in the room.
