Interview With a Vampire Synopsis


The first shot is of the priest is leaning back against the banister while the vampire is walking towards him in a menacing manner. Scary organ music could possibly be playing as it fits in with the church setting and the creepy vampire character. It is a low angle mid shot using the priest’s body language to show his emotions as the shot is from behind him and does not show his face. The vampire is shown face on, slightly to the left. We know the man is a priest because he is wearing the traditional clerical garb. The vampire is wearing old-fashioned clothes.  



Cut to a low angle mid shot showing the vampire up close from the priest’s point of view. The music could be similar but with suspense building up to heighten the mood. The vampire is more visible now and it is obvious that he is in fact a vampire because his clothes are the stereotypical clothes one would normally expect a vampire to be wearing. His face is also quite drawn and looks as though he has been around for a while, he also looks quite angry and mean which shows the audience they should be afraid of him.



Cut a full body shot, it shows the priest running along the altar still clutching the banister… the camera tracks with him, from right to left of screen. It once again is filming from behind of the priest so that you cannot see his face as he runs sideways. The vampire is standing at the right hand side of the frame watching the priest as he runs as if eyeing of his prey.



Cut to a long shot showing the vampire knocking the priest onto the altar and making everything else jump out of place on the table and some things falling off completely. The priest’s clothes are sprayed out under him onto the table, It then zooms out to an extreme long shot where it is seen that above the priest, with the Vampire still on top of him, is Jesus on the cross.

  1. Abbey - you are missing a number of tasks - ship storyboard, character profile, protagonist examples. Also a number of entries are a bit brief. Good vampire synopsis though, with lots of reference to cinematography.
