Researching The Vampire Diaries

Diana Daniela Simon

When researching about Vampire Diaries one of the main features was this idea of ghosts being present and a ‘ghost world’ which in the series is named the other side. The ghost are previous character which have died mostly positive characters however you do get the negative ones which attempt to get to the human side and they do this through a witch. This is very similar to my films narrative as my twins ge into the human form through the university students

Ghosts

Another factor that this series show is the idea of Vampires and this idea of sucking blood. Therefore this shows that blood can still freak people out and although the sub-genre of this show is supernatural drama show it can still show that the idea of blood (or bruising in my case) can scare the audience.

Vampires

Another theme that this show presents is the idea of werewolves and transformation, which is also quite interesting.

3.60 million viewers!!In the first season

DiscussionResearching into this show made me understand the fact that the supernatural subgenre is actually still a trend now as the vampire diaries had over 3 million view in their first season. Therefore comes to show that my idea of using ghosts (which is also in Vampire Diaries) is a good one as it not only follows the trend of films it also follows the trends of dramas that are out there!

In addition It also gave me another ides to use within my trailer and its basically to add blood to my Uni students therefore I have decided to create scratches on on of them and reveal this when revealing the bruises. I feel like this will not only make it more dramatic but also make it much scary as it is a much more hurtful incident than just bruises.
