Dexster has lots of close ups in the title sequence. This helps make up the Hermeneutic code. It brings a element of mystery to the opening sequence. The main character Dexster does menial tasks within the title sequence. Just doing a normal morning routine. It's the way it is shot that makes it mysterious. It makes the audience wonder why they are following him.
The second code is Porairetic Code. It suggests that something unpleasant is going to happen at some point. The audience again view this as mysterious. They might guess whats going to happen next.
The final code it Semantic code. The images don't quite mean what they might mean if filmed differently, in Dexsters case this makes him look sinister just making a full English breakfast. The audience might view this as a odd approach making them more interested.
