The scene begins with people in a club dancing to the music, and much of the beginning is tracking shots over and within the crowed of dancers. The shot type mostly consists of closeups and medium close ups of various dancers, tracking within the crowed and use of slow-motion to show details in the crowed. Over all of this , the main credits of cast and crew flashes on screen and fades out regulerly.
After this has established the setting etc, two characters enter into the scene from diffrent points, and while the shots keep cutting to slow-motion shots of dancers, the shot will also more regulerly cut to medium closeups of the chracter, showing them wade through the crowed. After all of this the scene cuts to a shot of the hoses on the ceiling of the club, and then blood begins to pour from them, drenching the crowed of dancers. As the blood pours slow motiong is again used, and the shots cut rapidly from long shot to closeup, showing the entire crowed being drenched, and then individual people, and back again. Also during this interlude the shot will cut to the male character, showing his shock and horror at blood raining down, these reaction shots are compleltly closeups, and are all in slow-motion. after a few seconds of this, the camera begins to show close-ups of other people in the crowed, and they are enjoying the blood and are dancing more vigourasly than ever, but one by one they notice that the male is scared, and so begin to turn on him, the camera then begins to show extreme closeups of the peoples mouths and teeth, showing us that they are razor sharp and reveals that the dancers are in fact vampires. there are then several reaction shots from the male being even more terrifie, and suddenly the slow-motion stops and the male is trying very hard to free himself from the crowed. The initial struggle is a long shot but the camera suddenly cuts to a closeup of a vampire and his fist. Once the vampire has punched the man, the shot cuts to a long shot showing all the vampires beating him. the shot cuts again to a medium close-up of the man crawling on his hands and knees away from the crowed, untill he comes upon a man towering over him. We dont see this man, only his legs, and as this happend the music abruptly cuts out. the sequence ends there.
