The opening sequence starts off with a pregnant women who's being rushed to a hospital room. It appears to viewers at first that the lady is just about to give birth but later on realise that she's been bitten by a vampire. Very low key lighting is used during this scene which gives a disorientated and dull tone; it also connotes death which indicates a flash back. The women gives birth and clip then jumps to a long shot of a urban building; the camera slowly zooms in to the building and then a range of fast flashing images is displayed simplifying a futuristic time. The non-diegetic music being used during the whole clip gradually builds up creating tension and making viewers think danger is about to occur. Another jump cut is made to a close up of a couple driving somewhere. The close up of the women portrays to viewers that the women has some vampire conventions like pale skin. The costume of the man includes a red jacket and a red hat; the color red indicates danger and violence. The couple then a arrive at what seems to be a meat shop; they continue to walk and enter what seems to be a club. A long shot showing people wearing just white clothing's with their hands in the air, listening and raving to music is displayed. This shows the setting of the film. The people look rather odd and have a few conventions of a vampire. The women walks away from the man and starts dancing with another women. Several close-ups of the people in the club is shown dancing. The man walks through the dancing people and looks out of place. The fact that he is wearing very vibrant colours suggest that a conflict with these people is about to occur.
