Sixth Sense analysis

Cinematography-
the shots usd here are used to great affect to create tension and to hint at what will happen later on in the film, this achieves one of the aims in the conventional thriller opening. The shot when the camera is behind a wine rack watching the woman does both of these things, it creates tension as its almost like she is being watched, this could make it a POV shot (point of view.) This is also a very beautiful shot as we have the wine rack in the foreground and the focus in the background, this creates a very real sense of depth.

Editing-
The titles are the main editing here as they take up a lot of the opening sequence, they create tension as the font is very ominous. Also the colour of the text and the background is very ominous, the dark blue connotes a very dark and dangerous future for the film. These two in combination cause the audience to feel the tension and also hint a lot about the storyline which is to follow.

Mise-en-scene-
This is very dark and deep opening sequence, the colour affects the mise-en-scene a lot as it is a very predominant feature in this sequence, the dark blue connotes a very dark plot line, this combined with the very mysterious nature of the shots used shows the theme/genre very well, thriller (psychological.) However the normality created in the initial shots contrasts with the titles very well, this creates the tension and builds upon it as the audience constantly expects something bad to happen.

Sound-
The music is very ominous as it builds tension as it is very mysterious (like the colours used and the shots used) it does this by slowly increasing in volume, this symbolises the building tension present in the scene. However by keeping a low pitch and a constant tempo the soundtrack is very subtle and doesnt take away from the tension created by the shots or the titles.
