Task 2: analysis of another horror movie; Underworld.

 This film called underworld about a war between two immortal species vampires and lycans, the war has been raging for more than a thousand years. it is directed by Len Wiseman, starring Kate Beckinsale as the main beautiful vampire warriors character beside the famous actor Bill Nighty as the very powerful vampire. This is based upon the graphic novels by Kevin Grevioux which also stars in the movie as the second in command in the Lycan clan.
It starts with the production companies' logo videos and then the name of the movie is stretched out for the whole screen. The background is just a dark colour signifying that this movie is not gone be a romantic movie but it will probably be a horror movie. the music does not sound like a nice peaceful film but like kind of like a monster as vampires/werewolves are monsters.


There is a bell ring between the showing of the production companies logos which the bell signifies church, Sunday and religion which normally things of this kind would signify good things but in this movie the mood that you are getting is that the characters may be doing things against what religion says e.g. do not kill.

The first scene is very dark and there is a storm with lighting and raining making the whole atmosphere very dark, gruesome and scary to fit it with the genre that it is while the camera is tilting down. A female character is talking (voiceover) while this is going on talking about a war in a formal accent, ans she is using words like "halt" and "Horde" which are words that are not used in the modern world which may signify that she is older than what she looks like.
The female is wearing a dark (black) cat suit with a black coated cape, she has dark and looks in her mid twenties. Once the camera stops tilting, you see the female character and then it starts forward tracking to get closer to the female character, the wind is creepy because of the wind is blowing the cape towards the camera. By the words that the female is talking she is a vampire so she will be older than what she looks like so she will be quiet powerful. She does not seem like she is scared of the night and the high altitude by looking at her body language as she is leaning towards the edge of the tower and how she is in those dark clothes which match the mood and the atmosphere of the whole scene. She calls her self a 'deathdealer' she has negative connotations, the word 'death' means basically dead while 'dealer' means that someone buys or sells something and if you would add them up it may say that she is someone who sold her life away. from the things that she says you can make out that she likes her life and she likes being at war with  the werewolves and killing them as she says 'we've become obsolete, petite because I lived for it' this may mean that  that without this war she has nothing to live for.

The location is quiet high and creepy because of tall towers which look like the towers of a church or something quiet old linking this again with religion as they may not follow religious views but they will be breaking them and also vampires and werewolf are not associated with the good side but the bad (hell) which the scary church like location links with it.

The female then jumps of the tower, the music changes as soon as she jumps of it and the music gets louder and more like a sound of a weird noise who is someone making while she is falling until she hits the ground the music fully changes into more powerful and brutal which is showing that something may happen later in the scene.
