Visual storytelling in relation to the s3 trailer

I love the visual storytelling of this show in regard to narration and POV. The first time we see Claudia in season 2 she doesn’t speak, she has no voice, only Louis reading her words. She’s dead, we only have her diaries left to be read by others, the perfect reminder given that at the start of season two, Louis seems to rely on her diaries to determine what is true and what isn't. On the contrary, the first time we meet Louis, we actually hear his voice first, before seeing him, but it’s a recording! From the San Francisco interview, a little clue of Armand’s involvement behind the scenes, now that Louis contacts Daniel again.

The first time we actually SEE Louis he’s facing us. It’s his interview, his desire for an odyssey of recollection. Directly looking at his audience.

Seeing Lestat for the first time is the opposite. In season 1 the first thing we see of Lestat is his back, we don’t know him. The first time we see his face he’s looking at Louis, but Louis doesn’t see him. And later we hear his voice for the first time, but we don’t see him speak and he’s talking in a foraging language. It’s a constant disconnect.

And the trailer follows this visual language. The season hasn’t premiered yet, we still don’t know Lestat’s story in his own words, so we start the trailer with his back turned on us. He’s not facing us, as if he wants to hide something too, maybe he won’t be so open to share as Louis was.

They could have shown us his face for the first time on stage, given the stage symbolizes exposure, but they actually show his body! Following the theme we’re seeing about Lestat’s sexualization and hyperexposure being tied to dehumanization. We see his face for the first time with Gabi, who has known him the longest. Then his world seems to turns upside down, and right after we see him at the bookstore. That’s what the publication of the book has done to his life.

I’m so excited for the new season!!!

Cueva de las Manos (Spanish for Cave of the Hands or Cave of Hands) is a cave and complex of rock art sites in the province of Santa Cruz, Argentina, 163 km (101 mi) south of the town of Perito Moreno. It is named for the hundreds of paintings of hands stenciled, in multiple collages, on the rock walls. The art was created in several waves between 7,300 BC and AD 700, during the Archaic period of pre-Columbian South America.
