Due to the title sequence being white credits over a black screen, there
are little effects. The non-diegetic soundtrack adds to the creepy feel of
the opening and the music hits very high notes when the title is
presented on the screen. The title The Sixth Sense fades in then out on
the screen for approximately five seconds. The font is clear and easy to
read and the opening credits in general feel as if they are zooming in
towards you before disappearing onto the next one.
