Car scene

The car scene near the end of the movie causes suspense as in this two person / mid-shot you can see that the child is scared to tell his mum something or in this case that he can see dead people. And the mother is trying to see out the window to see if she can catch a glimpse of the lady who died in the accident her son told her about.
This shot also shows the child's fear of how his mother will react to the new information. As he doesn't know if she will accept it or not. The feeling of her unknown reaction is suspense as you don't know what is going to happen or how much he is going to or is prepared to tell her. In this scene they have used shot reverse shot to emphasise the two protagonists emotions and facial features to see how they react will giving/receiving the information of the child being able to see ghost but after the mother got over the shock, he started to talk about how his grandmother apologises and was always proud of his mother which then emphasises how much the information means to both of them.
In this next shot they have used from the car scene is a close up of the mother showing her trying to control her emotions so that she can answer the question. This causes suspense as well because you don't know what her reply will be or what her reaction is to what she is being asked.
In this scene they have mainly used a panning movement and slight high angle shots to show the vulnerability of both characters. The composition of scene has been set out as a traffic jam because of an accident. From what the boy is wearing it almost gives off that feeling that he has been touched by something spiritual. But also when the film was made the way women were presented and how the car presented is only slightly different but when you see that she is wearing quite a bright red top/jumper it generally stands out as quite a sexual colour which also adds to the fact that she's a young slim women who looks after herself.
Also in the first image where the mother is looking out the window his eyes aren't focused directly on her but just slightly past her head which suggests that there's something beside her out side her window that only he can see.
