Analysis of the opening sequence "Blade"

The opening titles of Blade are written in red which represents danger. At the beginning of the opening sequence a woman is rushed into hospital with blood excessively coming out her neck, vampires typically attack the neck because it is an easy target. The scene is set at night time which is a convention of vampire films and the two characters go to a club. Blood comes out of the water sprinklers and then the vampires are surrounding the human male, they begin to show him their fangs and their is a close up of a vampire with piercing blue eyes which allows the audience to identify the vampire. In the opening sequence there is a lot of blood, this represents what vampires are and what they eat, just as if it were a human party, water would come out, the vampires see blood as normal.
The human in this scene is male and he is lead by a vampire female, usually males are seen as the dominant figure but because she is a vampire it suggests that vampires are dominant over humans.

I don't really know what else to type right now because I don't want to repeat myself but yeah.
