We found this an effective opening , due to the use of props. We found that the props used, for example, tying his shoe laces made it see like Dexter was strangling someone, or when Dexter put on this T-shirt it looked like he was suffocating someone. The director has used the mise-en-scene effectively because the audience can make the link that Dexter is suspicious, and leaves enigmas for the audience about his background. This makes the audience want to continue watching.
We found this opening was effective also because it wasn't a stereotypical thriller opening with knives, murder etc. However it was suspenseful enough for audience to know its the thriller. The music was casual, this could connote that Dexter lives an ordinary life but with a big twist. The title gives the effect that it is written in blood, this also add to the suspicion and question about Dexter and the life he lives.
