Concept

As a part of this project I wanted to explore the power of text to express emotions and at the same time the personality of the character. "Dark Knight" is an epic movie primarily because of how beautifully the roles in the movie have been acted. I chose a part of the dialogue between Batman and Joker towards the end of the movie and I wanted to make the video as some sort of a teaser.

I essentially wanted the video to end with the batman logo. I created sketches to see how the dialogues fitted in the shape. The dialogues for Batman was displayed with the font "Fontana" and the one's of Joker used "Cityburn". The text was synced with the audio in Adobe After Effects.
