Blade opening scene

Opening sequence to blade.
Alot of the scene has flashing in the style of a dance club, this represents the confusion and unawareness of the one human in the sequence, it also makes the scene have a more surreal feel as it makes the movement of the people look strange and almost skippy.
Despite the flashing lights the scene is still quite dark, being mainly dark grays, blues and black. This is what makes the blood falling from the ceiling more dramatic as the bright red contrasts with all the dark colors. When the characters are splattered with blood this represents their transformation from the seemingly normal to the horrifying monsters, as they were dark and bland before but they are then bright red. The colors of the characters also help make the human stand out from the vampires as he is wearing more colorful clothes, he also dances and acts very out of place.
The sounds that the vampires make sounds like a cat hissing, this helps show them to be more animalistic and feral.
When Blade actually comes in the fast movement of the scene slows down and the shots become longer. The shots also avoid revealing the character of blade to the audience for a while, the way he is revealed is effective as you see him through the vampires moving out of the way. Again the colors that the characters wear shows Blades contrast with the other vampires.
During the fight the camera movement and shot duration speed up, the music also speeds up. The effects used to show the vampires death is effective, the way they fall into dust shows how easily Blade can destroy them.
