The trailer begins with intertitles and a slow montage
building up tension. The intertitles introduce the audience to the narrative of
the film, but the scenes being shown are the characters going about their day
to day life. The trailer then picks up, parallel music is introduced in
combination with a short quick montage of clips to introduce the vampires and a
small amount of gore into the trailer. Once some gore is shown, the trailer
uses a collision cut back to a slow montage, where tension begins to build
again, through clever shots revealing vampires lurking in the village, and the
character’s speech telling the narrative instead of intertitles. A scene is
shown where a woman is alone by herself in the middle of the city, isolated
from everybody else and calling out for help. Contrapuntal music kicks in along
with a quick montage of gore and vampire attacks, creating a panic stricken
feel to the trailer. The trailer finishes on a scene of a woman screaming
whilst being bitten by a vampire, which then cuts to a title screen with the
name of the film. Overall I think that the trailer works very well, as it is
almost entirely set in low key lighting, giving the trailer a very dark and
gloomy feel. There is plenty of gore, and the quick montages are done very
well, giving off a strong sense of panic in the village.
