Sixth Sense Analysis

Scene;
In this scene, a frightened Cole is about to reveal his secret that he can in fact see dead people. The shot use of a close up from a slight of centre angle creates the illusion he is even more afraid as the camera appears to get closer and closer. Additionally by making the camera get closer and closer it starts to show  the horror stereotypes.Another reason why this particular scene is affective is the mise en scene shown. The use of dark lighting around him suggest that his secret is dark and must be hidden from others out of fear from being judged by people he knows.                                                                                                 The use of the cover being pulled over him more as he speaks suggests that he is covering himself.
