I am working in a group with Sophie Gordon, to film Dexter's morning routine.
This opening sequence to Dexter, creates a back story for the audience. Even though the actions Dexter is doing are normal, there is something unusual about them. All of the parts to the routine are aggressive, the low lighting gives the audience a sense of mystery. Most of the props used in the routine could be used to murder people with, the possible murder weapons give the audience clues that he is a murderer. There is also a sense of comedy to the routine, which makes the audience warm to him, which creates even more mystery to who he is. The frequent presence of blood, which also could portray danger, teaches the audience that he's not just a normal man getting ready.
What we need:
A kitchen stove/hob
A frying pan
Cutlery
Pate
Bacon
Eggs
A coffee cafetiere
A thin white t shirt
A grape fruit
A shape knife
Shoelaces
Hand razor
Toilet roll
fake blood
Ketchup
What we need each:
Time line of Dexter's morning routine:
Mind map:
I have learnt that planning is important, this is because it allows me to know what I am doing on the day of shooting, so I do not waste time. I have also learnt, that there are lots of shots in this opening sequence which makes it interesting. So I must include lots in mine.
