Analyze credits.

Analyzing credits in 'Panic Room' and 'Six Feet Under.'

The credits in 'Six Feet Under' are unusual because instead of filming the opening credits they use a selection of photographs. This shows time passing and makes us think that the program is about death. The use of contrapuntal sound is effective, as the music is quite upbeat it gives the impression that the program is not all about death which is typical of a TV drama, as there is usually more than one story line.

The images in the opening credits show parts of dead bodies, such as the foot, but also shows people washing their hands, which could imply that the program is about murder.

The font is quite plain and simple, this contrasts to the images behind it, making the audience focus on the photos behind it and not on the font.

Panic Room

The credits in 'Panic Room' are unusual as they do not really relate to the film, or give an insight into what it is about. However, the shots of the big buildings show that the film is set in the city, which is typical for a thriller genre. The lighting gives the impression that it is the morning and that the story happens over one day, which means the story line would be action packed.

The music started of eerie and then build up and became really dramatic, this could be a reflection of the actual film.
