Film analysis 4

The opening scene of the movie Blade uses dark lighting and colours in the clubs and on the streets to represent the seedy underworld of the city. During the start the movie is sped up so daylight quickly becomes night which hints to the audience that most of the events will happen during the night. The use of the nightclub setting shows that the vampires are similar to normal humans with their behaviour and it is yet unclear about who is a vampire yet. It is still unclear until blood begins to spray from the ceiling when it is revealed that it is a vampire nightclub. As soon as the character Blade shows up the camera shots become more varied with angles such as POVs and also quickly cuts. This represents the action genre as Blade dominates the vampires. The target audience of the film is obvious straight away as the content of the film is for mature audiences as in the car the woman grabs the crotch of the man beside her.
