Six Feet Under Credit analysis

How is the style unusual?
Some of the credits begin to break apart and deteriorate once they've shown up on the screen, this represents the theme of death and old age frailty. Other credits are at the same angle of objects used during sequence e.g. toe tag, medical liquid and the eye of the dead body.
How does this reflect the genre or themes of the film?
The dead body, funeral and main title of 'Six Feet Under' helps represent the death theme and thriller genre which will revolve around death during the program. The formal writing makes seem more of a mature/formal thriller with less dark and gory themes compared to that of 'Seven'.
Could you use a more creative style such as this?
Yes we could to fit it in with the dark surroundings, however as we are not using any props it would be difficult to change it to different angles, and we would probably used more bold and scary writing to make it suit with the darker themes of our film instead of the formal ones used here.
