Analysing the sixth sense title sequence.


 
Three quarters of the title sequence is just the credits and titles , the way they do this is genius though , a combination of the dark , slow and creepy orchestra music playing and the dark , slowly fading into the black dark screen credits automatically gives the audience  an idea of what this film will involve and the themes of the film. The slow music emphasises a kind of upsetting and scary atmosphere when watching this film and the very faint and fading credits that slowly creep into the background emphasise a very ghostly idea which tells us themes of this film but doesn't give away enough for the audience to really know what's going to happen , and doesn't ruin it.
 
 
 
The black screen fades into the beginning of the film , The actress enters a cellar and we automatically get a slightly anxious feeling as she slowly picks wine in a dark/cold/bare room . The way they create this feeling as she is in what seems like a cold and dark cellar , automatically gives the audience more proof of the films themes.

Camera shots also add to this feeling , the shot behind the wine rack gives the audience a feeling of the woman not being alone in the room . Without actually adding effects / noises / dialogue or shots that actually scare or jump out at you , they use other themes like locations , shots and music that subtly adds an awkward and creepy atmosphere .
