Early on in the OTS (Opening Title Sequence) it is clear that there is a lot blood related scenes/shots, an action match takes place at the start with the mosquito being squashed releasing a pool of blood, then the title of the television show appears which looks to be written in a blood like font. which gives the impression that the programme is based around killing and death!
When the character is shaving we see that he cuts himself and his blood drips down his cleanly shaved face, and then drops into the sink, this could be a clue into which he may have had a previous incident in a sink, maybe even murder!
Also when he has another drop of blood rushing down his face he absorbs it with a tissue which is is then slowly soaked in blood, which is then followed by a covered piece of meat which is then cut which makes the viewer think for a split second that someones cutting him.
An orange is cut during the clip this could be to symbolize a limb being cut from a human/animal, shortly after we see the inside of the orange which is normally orange but this orange is blood filled this may be to resemble a brain or something along the same lines!
When the character who we presume is 'Dexter' puts on his white shirt we originally think that he is being suffocated however hes just putting on his, however further into the programme a character may be suffocated in a similar way.
This OTS gives me a number of ideas for example with the title in stencil this gives a great animated effect which I think would be great to include in our OTS, the idea of blood throughout the OTS really creates a tense and dangerous feeling which I would like to include in our OTS. The idea of a drop of blood filtering through a sink full of water creates a great effect which really looks great. This is an idea which I have raised with our group for us to do in our OTS, however I would like to record this underwater this can be possible due to the fact that i have a GoPro Hero 3+ which is water proof, this could be useful during our filming of our OTS. Another idea which we have is to have a newspaper article with something to do with murder and then it will zoom in on a picture which will suddenly open his/her eyes! I personally think that this will slightly spook the viewers creating an eerie atmosphere!
