The Sixth Sense
By Rebecca Clarke
The close up shot of the character is light one side and dark on the other, this could connote
the characters emotional portrayal in the scene. The shot type is quite up close and personal making us as an audience feel the sadness of
the character.
This over the shoulder shot makes us feel like we are listening in on their conversation. The lighting in this scene contrasts to the rest of
the film because it is lighter and more natural. This could be significant to the
narrative.
Wide shot – this wide shot then zooms in at a low angle to the characters. The wide shot allows us to see the setting and the characters positions. These positions are important to get across the
characters emotion/feelings to the audience.
This low angle gives us a sense of authority because we are looking down upon the
character. This may be to show the characters age and how he is sleeping. The colour of this
shot has many connotations such as blood, horror, anger and love. It allows links to the narrative as the colour significantly shows a
specific emotion on how the character is feeling.
Opposite to the low angle, this high angle shot gives us a sense like we are spying upon
the character in this scene. From this shot again natural lighting is used to create a
realistic scene and show that it is set in the day time unlike the rest of the film.
This eye line match allows us to be in the position of the character and see from their point of view. Because it is at a lower angle we feel as an audience that we are pupil in the class. The setting in a classroom sets a
realistic narrative and the daylight is used to portray happier emotions in the scene.
An extreme close up of the tape player makes us pay attention to what the character is
doing. This also emphasises the narrative at this point and makes the audience focus on the actions played by the character. The use of a tape player isn't an average everyday
item so by using it as a prop the audience can question why and the significance of it.
This mid shot of the three characters shows their positions within the scene. The costume is dark and formal suggesting that the mood
is saddened. The setting in a small neighbourhood suggests that everyone knows each other and they are friendly, this is why the characters are seen helping each other.
On this close up shot of the character the shadows on his face show his expression,
showing that he looks scared as an audience we feel the same because the light
emphasises his facial expressions. Also the shot isn't of a natural speaking distance
making us feel uncomfortable in the scene.
