Nosferatu- The most effective Gothic effects of productions in the film.

Nosferatu includes many Gothic effects of production.

The most striking Gothic production effect in Nosferatu is the use of light and dark and shadows.
We are introduced to a couple of who- the female is most striking to begin with as she is pale and dressed in white with darkened eyes. This use of light and dark may rise to the conotation that she is tired or worn and yet pure and innocent.
The male which we are introduced to has an element of mystery surrounding him and the other male introduced appears insane, from this point onward the scenery seems to become more mysterious and darkened with much more use of shadows and intimidation as we enter and unknown place in which houses and towering buildings are surrounded vast amounts of land.
Further introduction of mystery appears as we are introduced to the idea of phantoms and ghosts which introduce a new sense of the unknown.
Once our firstly introduced male enters the unknown building he is greeted by a mysterious male who comes across as someone to fear.
Another striking Gothic production feature is the introduction of the idea of darkness and danger of animal like creatures which appear from the unknown, also the idea of death and value of bloodshed and sacrifice. As well as the use of time as these dangerous events appear to happen at midnight an hour of uncertainty, often largely connotated with danger and the mystery of night. Traditionally linked to the arrival of mysterious creatures such as werewolf's and vampires.
