About the accessible source

The production report transcribed by filmportal.de describes a night shoot for Nosferatu at the Jofa studios. A constructed harbour, sailing ships and dockside workers create an ominous setting, while an aircraft propeller supplies wind for the vessels’ sails and flags. The account emphasises Albin Grau’s preparation of scenes through drawings, costumes, gestures and movement before director F.W. Murnau films them. It praises the pair’s attention to visual detail and its intended effect on the audience. This is an account of the institutional German transcription, not a collation against a recovered original newspaper page.
