Product Research: Dexter Opening Sequence

Dexter an American mystery TV series uses a wide majority of thriller conventions in its opening sequence. This opening sequence thrilled me without it being a thriller which I think challenges its own genre.
At 00:20 an over the shoulder shot is used whilst the character is looking in the mirror, however, he is blurred. This is may mark a running theme throughout the series of the character having a split personality, the aspect of a split personality is commonly introduced in physiological thrillers, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde(2008) film uses the convention of a split personality, which is also adapted from the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Furthermore, the opening uses an extent of match on cut camera. This attracts the audiences focus, for me personally it made me focus on the sequence as the match on cuts were incredibly great.

I and the Uncut Production team would very much enjoy taking inspiration from Dexter, as it challenges the genre, and the eye of the viewer.
