Hard Candy (2005) Opening Credits Analysis

I came accross the opening credits to Independent Psychological Thriller 'Hard Candy' (2005) and felt intrigued by the simplicity of it. They've used a compressed pallette of white, red and black and the straightforward font helps to convey the low production Independent feel from the beginning. The melodic piano playing creates an uneasy feel, hinting at the narrative, and such a sound would be practical to create ourselves in our own production. I also found it interesting how the credits come onto the screen in an interior fashion, possibly conveying the inside of a house - interestingly, the setting of the film takes place in a house - and so offers hints. Although the simplicity of it draws you in, I felt the credits dragged on for too long and didn't allow any form of narrative into the sequence and so after a while, it began to get repetitive and boring.
