This is the opening sequence of ‘The sixth sense’ The titles are accompanied by a string group which causes the audiences to be scared as this type of music is typically used in horror films. The audience would be questioning whether the film is going to be scary. The font type used is very serious and is in a light wash of blue on a black background. The black background could imply the idea of the unknown as black shows darkness and death.
This close up of an ancient light bulb is using the rule of thirds here as there is space on the right and a little space on the left. The light bulb has been turned on in a old and not normally used room. The reason we know this is because the mise en scene has just a light bulb within it, the directer has done this on purpose to have the audiences focus on this one object. The collection of dust and dirt tells the audience it is old and hasn’t been cleaned for a while. Also the light bulb is used for a reason, which is to light a dark room. The darkness of the room before the light bulb is turned on relates to the titles where the black background is used which cause the audience to think of the unknown in the dark. This has a connection with the title of the film ‘The sixth sense’ which could be thought of as being able to see things other people may not, or the idea of the unknown which may be ghosts and spirits.
The cinematography in this clip conveys the meaning that the woman is being watched and she has realized or sensed that. The close up gives us a more personal insight to her character. We can see she is wearing makeup and jewellery which implies that she is celebrating or having a special occasion, hence going down into the basement to get some wine. The camera has been placed behind the wine cabinet which conveys the idea that someone or something watching her is trying to hide. There is no sound in this particular shot as the director wants to draw the audience with the silence and pay attention to what her facial expression is showing.
The fact we can hear the litghtbulb slowly turning on creates the feeling of emptyness as the room is so quiet and empty we can herar the quietest of sounds. As the light bulb is the first thing we see it is alos good its the first thing we hear too as it links. The sound is very quiet and almost sounds like a train from far far away. The fact we can hear it allows the audience to feel close to the lightbulb, relating to the fact it is a close up.
