Analysis Of ' The Sixth Sense'

'The Sixth Sense' is a successful thriller as it uses a variety of techniques to draw the audience into the film. For example; its constant use of the colour blue and red representing sorrow and death. The mise en scene is also important as it helps to create the atmosphere of the film. Also the use of the mysterious and eerie sounds. This helps to merge all of the techniques and variety of conventions to create the thrillers atmosphere.


By using the dark colours such as blue, black and red the whole film has a dull and sorrow atmosphere which is felt throughout the film because these colours are continuous within the duration of the movie. If the colours were bright and bold colours then the atmosphere would not be set well therefore it will not draw in the audience.


The mise en scene is important as it sets the scene for the film. The use of a dark house with only two people in portrays the fact that anything could happen and that they may not be safe. Because this scene is set at night it helps to expand the use of the dark colours, because these merge together well the use of natural and artificial colours and lighting is disguised.
