M. Night Shyamalan’s 1999 psychological thriller, The Sixth Sense, tells the story of a young boy named Cole (Haley Joel Osment) who is cursed with the ability to see and interact with dead people. He meets a washed up child psychologist named Malcolm (Bruce Willis), who is able to help him cope with his sixth sense. In the films conclusion, it is explicitly revealed to Malcolm and to the audience that he is dead, killed by gunshot in the opening scene of the film. Though the reveal surprised Malcolm and a large portion of the audience, many hints were dropped throughout the film, especially through the use of frames. In the film, many shots use framing to put focus on people and objects. Scenes such as the wedding tape use in-shot frames
