Nosferatu (F.W. Murnau, 1922)
- Long casting shadows and silhouettes are used to create suspense
- Eery non-diegetic sound or silence is also used to build up tension
- Isolation of characters within the piece creates a sense of vulnerability
- The iconography of the vampire is stereotypical through costume by the image of him having large fangs, long nails and dressed in old fashioned clothing
Inception (Nolan, 2010)
- Set in busy urban and surban areas create a sense of realism
- Lots of action scenes to create a fast pace and to engage the audience
- Involves a protagonist who has a problem to solve
- Conventional lighting of bright when the hero is present however it is more dark and sinister when the antagonist is seen creating the distinction between good and bad
- The soundtrack is upbeat and anchors the action through the use of crescendos
