Sixth Sense


The opening credit starts off with the howling of the wind in the background, the violin starts to slowly play over the howling of the wind. This creates a creepy, strange feeling for the audience making them uncomfortable, it also establishes the genre of movie and also sets the mood for such a film.
The music then intensifies, suddenly going to a higher pitch note. This frightens the audience and grabs their attention as well as making them feel more involved.
The movie starts of with a black screen, the credits of the film slowly fade in and out. the credits are in sync with the background music. this adds a more firmer feeling of unease. In a way, this establishes the main genre of the film. The credits seem to get larger as if the credits were getting closer to the audience. this creates a sense of terror and also helps the audience become more aware as the credits getting closer could mean something is about to begin.
the colour used for the opening credit is simple black and white. This creates a feeling of darkness and eeriness, stereotypically most horror takes place in the dark.
