Analysis of genre
Analysis of genre
Vampire genre
has been around ever since the early 20th century. Vampire films
have been since the era of silent films, so much so that the portrayal of
vampires in popular culture is strongly based upon their portrayal in films
throughout the years. The most popular adaption of a vampire film was Dracula with
over 170 different versions. By 2005 Dracula
had been a subject more than any other fictional character. As folklore shows
vampires are defined by their need to feed on blood and their manipulative nature.
This is a theme that is always common in many adaptations. Although vampires
are generally associated with horror they sometimes end up into the drama,
action, science fiction, romance, comedy or fantasy genre.
Before in
the genre vampires had certain things they had to do to survive and get on with
life. Before vampires would live in dark massive castles. The castle would have
many rooms with creaky floorboards, cobwebs everywhere and loads of antiques
that have collected dust. Vampires would also sleep in coffins.Vampires would
perish if they had stepped foot into the sunlight and if they have had holy
water sprayed on them. Also garlic was used in many movies as a way to get rid
of vampires. Now vampires live in big modern houses and don’t sleep. The houses
are equipped with modern day equipment as a way for producers to make them seem
normal. Now if a vampire steps foot into sunlight they sparkle.
In a vampire
movie you always expect to see the massive houses. In the houses there are always
massive spider webs that cover all the corners. Some passer-by normally walks
in curious of what’s going on. When they walk in the doors and floorboards always
creak letting the vampire know that somebody is in his castle. A passer-by would
always see the coffin and would realize what was going on in this house.
