Dexter opening research

1. Dexter
Dexter is a TV series that was aired between 2006
to 2013. The plot is about a serial killer called
Dexter, who relies on his fathers code to make
kills, however Dexter is also in the forensics
department for the Miami homicide department

2. The sequence opens with Dexter slapping a
mosquito on his arm, this immediately leads us
into the death and murder aspect of the show.

3. During the credits this scene comes up,
this introduces the sequence and u can
see that the word is red with platters of
blood, giving off a psychotic effect.

4. This screenshot is an extreme close up shot of
Dexter shaving, the fact that it shows the
blade going up the throat/neck could show a
violent feature

5. This screen grab is another extreme close up of him
putting a tissue on the cut from shaving, the reason
it goes to this extreme close up of the tissue soaking
up the blood is because it shows off Dexter's love
for blood.

6. The sequence then moves into
Dexter’s own sequence, it shows him
making his breakfast but he does it
strangely, he cooks his meat first and
eats it, then the egg, then his blood
orange. This shows that Dexter has
his own routine for his mornings and
he does it his own way. This shows
that Dexter is an individual man and
thrives on his own, taken from his
‘rebellious’ way of eating breakfast.

7. This title sequence ends with Dexter leaving his apartment, the camera
shot takes him looking across the balcony and winking, showing that he
is just an average guy, this is almost giving off a false impression of
Dexter. Almost as if his apartment is where he is his true self, with his
routines, and then when he leaves he puts on this fake impression to
cover up his true self.
