The trailer for 1984 I created used strong imagery derivative of communist propaganda. The images were focused on being straight to the point or visually striking; to do this I used a strong, limited colour pallet in conjuction with some of the most prominent imagery featured in the book.
The imagery of the Big Brother poster is something I wished to repeat a lot in my short animation as it creates a sense of it recurrence, never leaving the thought of the viewer. This is the idea of repetitious bombardment of information to create a suggestion or idea that is common in propropaganda or fear mongering media. I made alternative versions of this slide to give it variety while still having the same 'message'.
When deciding upon the music for this trailer I thought it best to find something cinematic or classical. This book is a classic piece of literature with dark perversions of communism and totalitarianism so the music had to be fitting in tone.
