The Design

About Movie Boxed Advertisingcampagne

Movie Boxed is een advertentiecampagne die is ontwikkeld voor de première van de film Boxed. De campagne draagt de metafoor van de doos door elke toepassing heen. De titelsequentie, de aftiteling, een poster, een ticket, een perspas, een polsbandje en een stop-motion busposter volgen allemaal één en dezelfde gedachte. De typografie is gerangschikt in strakke, doosvormige vormen, inclusief de leestekens. Een smal en zwaar historisch lettertype sluit aan bij de vintage kleuren van de film. Polsbandjes die aan handboeien doen denken, worden aan het publiek uitgereikt bij de ingang van de vertoningszaal.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: In this campaign, we aim to bring an immersive experience to the audience at the premiere of the movie Boxed, written and directed by Alam Virk. As we follow the main character, Andy Whiteman, we are forced to confront the reality that we too are often fed with modern culture and trapped in a vacuum of superficial living. Through various mediums, including posters and wristbands with curated copywriting, we seek to reinforce the movie's theme and deepen the audience's understanding of the void state of being portrayed on the screen.
Dimensions & Packaging: 27 x 40 inch Poster, 14 seconds of Title Sequence, 8 seconds of Ending Credits, 6 seconds of Bus Stop Motion Poster, 1 Wristband, 1 Ticket,
Tags: Branding, Campaign, Graphic Design
Production Technology: VFX for Title Sequence and End Credits, Poster, Ticket, Press Pass, Wristband, and Motion Graphics for the Trailer and Bus Stop Advertisement
Design Challenge: We are faced with the challenge of how to intrigue the audience without telling the full story of the movie.
Research: For the typeface choice, since the movie color plate is quite vintage and the plot is suffocating, I chose a condensed, thick and historical typeface that fits the movie's story.

This campaign also tries to carry the box metaphor throughout. As for the ending credits, most typography layouts are rigid box shapes, including punctuation marks, to emphasize the box concept. Wristbands look similar to handcuffs. And from an architectural standpoint, the screening room is a box made of concrete. To leave more impression on the audience, we also distribute wristbands that say" boxed, aren't we" as they enter the screening room.
Inspiration: All applications are reinforcement of the idea of being boxed. For the opening title, the main character rips off the film title. For the ending credits, to emphasize the box concept, most typography layouts are rigid box shapes, including punctuation marks. At the premiere night, the stuff pass is tagged with the slogan we are boxed as the punchline for the event. Waistbands that say boxed, aren't we are distributed as the audience enters the screening room.
Project Duration: This project started in August 2022 and finished in November 1, 2022 in New York, NY.
Operation Flow: Considering this movie is the second film from an award-winning indie director, the whole campaign needs to be tailor-made. The logic of this campaign is to serve the story. Each application speaks to the scene in the movie and emphasizes the box metaphor.
