Vampie weekend
- 1. Vampire weekend poster analysis modern vampires in the city
The picture of the album relates to the
title as it is depicting a city in the fog
which is quite mysterious and scary so
is the title “Modern vampires of the
city” where vampires are associated
with scary things.
The black and white effect on the
picture juxtaposes the title as the
black and white effect suggests
that it is old whereas the title
says that it is “modern”
The fog effect on half of the picture
adds an enigma code as you can’t see
what’s going on there and you feel
that they don’t want you to see what
is happening there.
The black and white effects also
suggest shadows and mystery this is
where typically vampires would
hide.
The light intensity in the
photo goes against the
traditional forms of
vampires being scared of
the light so the use of
high key lighting and
being a modern version
of vampires and different
from the traditional
version.
The text in the top right
hand corner of the poster
shows an over lapping
title of modern vampires
of the city this connotes
that they are integrated
into the population of the
city so are
undistinguishable to the
other people. The use of
New York City is
stereotypically filled
with crime and is
dangerous ties in with
the vampires as they are
dangerous.
