Analysis of past Hurtwood opening title sequence

Recently, we were asked to watch thrillers from last year. I haven't finished them all, but I really enjoyed looking on this works. The one that I  the most is 'Hidden':
This thriller starts with shots of a very luxurious room. All this scene is very bright, in warm colors, so there is an impression that we are somewhere in the expensive house. I think, all these shots look very professional, especially when the focus is changing. There is also quite a long shot, when focus is changing on the door, which will become important. 
There is a music from the first seconds. As for me, it is not scary or preventing like I would expect in the thriller. 
There are tittles, which are clearly seen, but at the same time not annoying. They are all in white, so they stand out and also they suit the soundtrack.
 When showing the bookshelf, we can see the name of the book 'Hidden', which may give a clue later.

After that, we see a young man, who breaks into the house through the window. The close shot of his foot shows us that he is trying to be silent. This person is searching for something-secret place. Then, we can hear that someone is coming. The man is very scared. To create that feeling, there is no music anymore-just heartbeat.
A person which just came into the room easily finds the hidden in the book. There is a close-shot of the face of a youth-we see his emotions, how he is disappointed.
 The last shot is the name of the movie-'Hidden'. It is white on black background, which makes it very contrast.
