KISS OF THE VAMPIRE analysis

1963 film poster:

Use of connotative features- the colours used imply death, gore, fear (black, rad and white) 

The elements of time- the cartoon like nature illustrates the period the film was made in 

Social meaning- 

Character archetypes-

Generic conversations-

Audience appeal-   










Analysis of Narrative:
-dramatic, excessive actions, connotative of conflict
-beautiful women in white, connotative of virginity and purity
-aggressive expressions vs the looks of fear, binary of opposition 
-disruption of equilibrium, symbolic code of vampire biting woman
-symbolic protective gesture of women over kneeling man, challenging stereotypes
-hermeneutic code of whats going to happen next with the collection of archetypes 
-representation of women being sexualised by revealing dress and submissive position
