Nosferatu is quite a masterpiece of horror which has transcended time. From the silent era up until the present day, Nosferatu relies upon artistic creativity to speak of its theme. As an unknown writer with an artistic outlook, I write to bring out the film's artistic side, filmed with hand cranked cameras. Since all the scenes had to be filmed with daylight still lingering, natural woven cloths had to be used to diffuse the sunlight. Without the use of sound, actors had to be skilled in facial and body expressions to convey the story. Makeup accentuated the personality of the character. Those hideous hands communicate utter horror for those watching. Filters played an important role for black and white films. In this movie we see sepia, pink and blue in changing scenes. Those with an artistic perspective are in awe when viewing this creatively pieced together movie.
