Nesferatu:
This movie has a few vampire iconographies. We get a sense of
horror when we see a shadow, with long creepy fingers walking slowly towards
the room. Where there is a female victim. Women are often represented in
vampire films as those who need saving, a damsel in distress, and that is
exactly what we see about the girl. She is wearing a white night gown
indicating she's about to sleep. It also shows her vulnerability and the white suggest innocence.
Dracula:
The vampire iconography used in this film is violence as shown by
the war. When we see the opening of the clip, we see a cross being covered by
dark fog, this gave us a sense that it was a vampire movie because we vampires
are usually vulnerable when they see a cross. Furthermore we see that the women
who is Dracula's wife is represented as a weak, love-sick woman due
to the fact that she can't live without her husband as shown by the way she
kills herself because she was given the impression that Dracula died
in the war.
