Research Plan

Vampire is a famous and popular image in west culture. Usually, vampire is regarded as an element of evil, bloody and violence. Through analysis of vampire the symbol in film about vampire, I intend to explore how the symbol of vampire changed with time goes by. In this research, I will focus on some typical films such as Nosferatu, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Interview with the Vampire. From these films, I will explore the meaning of vampire the symbol and make audiences have better understanding of complicated history of vampire.
Vampire is an attractive element in novels and films, but the image of vampire have always been changed. Many audiences are confused when they watch films about vampire because the vampires in different films have different images. Sometimes they are ugly and violence, while sometime they are elegant and beautiful. This research will provide a completed history of the change of vampire’s image in films to discuss how vampires’ images have been changed.
This research will use some films about vampire as example to explore different vampires in different periods. The main method I choose is textual analysis. Other author’s point of view will be referred, and the research will be objective and factual.
