Six Feet Under Analysis

As i have never seen the opening sequence to six feet under before, it appears to be mysterious, coming across quite peaceful shown by the colors and slow panning camera movements. Judging by the beginning it doesn't seem to be a violent thriller, although imagery of dead people, hands letting go of one others. The scene going down the long corridor, going towards the light, suggests death. The film seems spooky, the set of credits are shown in a very ironic way as they are showing things associated with death, or even major symbols of death on what appears to be a possible 'normal' day.

The music seems like a soundtrack that would accupany a childrens film, on the hand it has sudden sounds which makes your heart jump. Its a happy tune but odd.

The credits are unusual as they pop up and appear on such things as a gravestone, or a funeral car. This makes it quite quirky. The style of credits accompany the clip well, and the images begin to give away the genre of the film throughout. The credits slide off the screen with the camera movements.

During the opening scenes you begin to put together links through the images, this shows how important music is to a film or programme.
