The Sixth Sense


The title of The sixth sense flashes onto the screen in plain white writing and then disappears again after the title sequence.

From the second shot the setting is revealed to be an expensive house (47 Locust street) which the characters we have been introduced to at this point in time own and live in.

I chose this shot for props because when the woman is down in the cellar she feels cold so after she has got the bottle of wine she grabs some jumpers for the two of them to wear.

The editing and special effects used when Ben shoots Malcolm are they most dramatic out of those that are used for the opening so I chose this as my editing shot.

The Credits appear similarly to the title except that they appear line by line and fade off the screen. The also shair the same fort style and colour.

The beginning of the story begins with the reading of Malcolm's award which is read by his wife Anna they the move into the bedroom presumably to have sex Anna the realises that the phone is on the flour and the receiver isn't in the holder but also that the window is broken from the outside and there is glass on the seal and near the phone.

It then becomes a Thriller when they discover that someone has broken in and that someone is one of Malcolm's former patients Ben Frankin who has possible mood disorder and is also possibly mentally unstable. He's come because he "wants what he was promised" and tells Malcolm he was "wrong about him having trouble coping with his parents divorce'. He then shoots him and commits suicide.

I particularly liked the shot of Malcolm and Anna's reflections in the frame because for that to happen the angle of the shot and the fraiming heeds to be right and I liked the mise en scene of it.
