Analysis of 'Six Feet Under' and 'Panic Room' credits

These clips, although not necessarily Thrillers, both show the starting credits in different ways other than films like 'Vertigo' or 'Quantum of Solace', where the credits are stationary and not generally different however in these clips the credits are animated and fit in with the background, they are also not in the 'black background' as seen in some films like 'The Matrix'.

In Panic room the credits are seen 'floating' near buildings within the background of the city, in which the film starts, This is also seen in the TV program 'Heroes' which uses it for the title and for the episode number, this makes the text seem to be more subtle than the credits for 'Vertigo'.

In the clip for 'Six Feet Under' although not a Thriller, it also shows a different way of showing the credits as it shows them as literally part of the mise-en-scene, this makes it diegetic for most of the clip for example the section with the corpse on the table with the tag on their foot with the credits.
