⤷ Behind the Scenes:​

​

A key focus of the project was taking narrative motifs and turning them into strong symbolic visuals. For example, in the Dexter Season 1 piece, I used eight donuts to represent the show’s eight seasons and circled the first to highlight the specific season in focus. Colour also played an important narrative role. Yellow in The Shining was used to signal tension and psychological unease, while red appears in several posters to reflect violence, blood and emotional intensity.

The workflow moved across multiple programs to maintain consistency and control over the style. I began by editing found footage in Premiere Pro to establish timing and atmosphere. Once the pacing was set, I moved into InDesign to design the typography and layout structure for each poster. These elements were then brought into Photoshop, where I used the timeline feature to animate the video posters and apply effects across both moving and static visuals.

Photoshop was essential for achieving the consistent graphic style I wanted. I used threshold, halftone and other textural treatments so the animated MP4 posters and the final A1 printed frames felt like part of the same visual system. The project resulted in a set of motion posters and large-format prints that merge symbolism, editing, and graphic design into a single cohesive collection.
