Analysis of 'Six Feet Under' credits

'Six Feet Under' Credits:-

Six Feet Under, Main Title Sequence
Uploaded by numerof. - Arts and animation videos.

The credits don't reflect the style and genre of the film. They contrast it instead. They portray the series to be of a calm and peaceful type of genre rather than the thriller genre it is. This is good as it can set the audience into a false sense of security. The contrast of the music really compliments the mise on scene of the crow, graveyard, dying flowers, herse and dead bodies. These set of credits are shown in a very ironic way as they are showing things associated with death, or even major symbols of death in what seems to be a normal day.

The credits are unusual as they pop up in places . They are also regularly in motion on screen using different affects like credits on tags and credits following moving lines. This is very affected as it keeps the audience interested with the ever changing credit transitions.

We are planning on using a similar style to this but not as heavily animated. We plan to use moving credits but dont yet know how difficult this will be. We are hoping to use the same style of credits transitions seen in this clip, for example, credits sliding off the screen following movement on camera.
