Throughout the American Psycho titles, there is implicit meaning and imagery, such as, as what seems to be blood falls in drops, really it is a red sauce being put onto the dish that carries itself through the title sequence.
As the knife comes down - bringing ideas of murder and anger to the audience - the character uses it to cut food. All the shots so far are close-ups to intrigue the audience and make them closer to the action.
In this shot, the blood-fooling sauce is apparent and the woman eating wears black gloves - something used often whilst murdering/ committing crimes.
This title sequence really reminds me of the Dexter routine which I already studied, as they both consist of close ups that attempt in a way to fool the audience into thinking a certain way - getting them in the mindset of the American Psycho.
