AUTEUR CRITICISM





AUTEUR CRITICM - THE SIXTH SENSE ( M.NIGHT SHYAMALAN)


The director that I have chosen is Manoj Nelliyattu or better known as M. Night Shyamalan. M. Night Shyamalan is an American filmmaker and also an actor who is known or famous for making films with contemporary of supernatural plots and twist endings in his movies. Based on his masterpiece of filmmaker, the director of a supernatural psychological thriller film called The Sixth Sense (1999) is good to be considered as an auteur that has a body of work for an on-going theme in addition, this film has been nominated for the Best Director including the Academy Awards. As we all know, M.Night Shyamalan is always creating an aesthetic styles to all his films which are more to supernatural, horror and dark elements and also a plot-twist at the end of the movie which it becomes a symbolic of Shyamalan movies. However, the mise-en-scene that I discovered in the movie is how Shymalan used dark or low lighting and thrill sound which he collaborated with a composer score, James Newton Howard to make the scene or environment to become more suspense, thriller and intense which it also has created the visual world of a film and overall atmosphere for the audience to see his work.
