new vampire film synopsis

Premonition:



Sienna Collins is a born artist. She is always drawing at any free moment she can. However one day-when she is 15- she drew something she couldn't explain. She drew a picture of her friend crossing the road talking on the phone and a car coming her way. She doesn't see it is coming. Sienna hadn't realized until she drew it that she had. And it scares her even more when the drawing comes to life the next day. She tries to tell her self that it is a coincident but she doesn't truly believe it herself; until the present day.

She is not 18 and is home alone. She is listening to music on her phone when suddenly she gets the urge to draw again. She picks up her sketch book and pencil and draws. She doesn’t realize what she is drawing until she is done. She sees that she has drawn picture of her in the park with a man; whose teeth are sank in her neck. As soon as she sees this she gets a flashback of her friend’s accident and the drawing. Upon seeing the connecting she drops her pencil and quickly rubs out the drawing. A few weeks after that, she avoids the park. She thinks she is being ridiculous and goes to the park. She sits on a bench and gets carried away sketching again when she feels a slight breeze on her neck. She turns to where the breeze is coming from when she comes face to face with a man, and the next thing she knows is she's being bitten just like what happened in her sketch.
 

Iconography Analysis

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.
