Six Feet Under- Opening Sequence

This film falls into the drama genre.

I like this shot because it shows that he is washing the dirt from something off his hands, this intrigues the audience and makes them want to watch on to find out what he is washing off his hands. I like how it is only focused on the hands and that there is no background features just plain blackness.

I like this shot because it seems they have made the body into an object that you can buy or send off, it could possibly be that they are sending it 'six feet under' the ground. 

This shot shows that the body is going to heaven or just out of life into nothing. I like the lighting in this because it shines through every gap in his toes and I think it looks really effective. I also like the camera angle because it has been positioned so that it seems like its the dead person looking down of himself.

I really like this shot because it shows that there actually is a body and secures the audiences possible thoughts.  I like the low angle shot that this clip has used because it seems like it could be the body looking up at the van. I also think that the light shining through the window looks really good.

I like how the credits have been made to look like they are engraved on the gravestone, I think that I would like to re-create this type of shot in my own opening sequence. I like how the colours have gone from quite bright to duller and darker as the body goes underground.

I really like how this clip draws the line down and around to show the position of the coffin, I think that it's quite clever and quite an effective shot. This shot also shows that the body has been buried away from anyone or anything and then the film title appears in the coffin square.
