The sixth sense.
The sixth sense is a film created in 1999 by Shyamalan in the United States. The genre of this film seems to be horrific and gory.
When talking about shot types in the film we usually see a lot of close shots and long shots. For example we see a close up of the womens face when she seems suspicious, anxious and terrified. Close ups are there to show facial expressions and how the character(s) react to a certain situation. Not only close ups of her facial expressions was a key to the scene, but also the objects that were in the room with her was important. For example, the bottle that she carry's when she comes out the basement. There was also a shot that was behind a shelf full of objects as well. This is to show that someone or something is spying on the character and that gives a scene of feeling anxious and scared and makes the audience question "Is there someone behind the shelf" or "Whats going to happen". There were a few long shots as well in the clip. This is to show the background she was in. The background she was in seems to be cold, dark place. This is to represent the scene of lonelyness and discomfort.
When looking at the Mise En Scene, The character's costume seems to be a bit casual for a gory genre. The costume that the women was wearing is a pink dress. The may symbolise her orginising a party for her friends and family. The colour pink is a symbol of bright and piecefulness which may not reflect on to the situation that she is in at the moment so obviously we are seeing a sign of confusion taking place in the clip. With the lighting in the clip, we can obviously tell that it is in a low key lighting situation so again we can tell that something horrible is going to happen when the tension is building up.
When we talking about sound, we usually reflect on diegetic and non-diegetic sound. An example of a non-diegetic sound could be the wind in the background. This is to show metaphorically the women being scared on what is about to happen. Not only that but again it is also reflecting on lonelyness. An example of a diegetic sound can be the rumbling in the room opposite side of the women taking place. Again, this is to reveal someone or something is creeping up on her to give the women the frights of her life.
