OLDBOY

Title Sequence / 2024

Oldboy depicts Dae Su's journey for revenge, only for him to discover the tragedy originates from his actions in the past. The concept aims to describe the karma from Dae Su resulting in the ultimate chaos at the end.  



Final Frames

The title sequence depicts the karmic concept through the metaphor of red threads. As we trace the red lines, we discover the pathways leading to destruction and chaos by one’s own actions.

TYPE TREATMENT

To distinguish it from the red threads, I opted for a serif typeface. Among serif options, I selected CINZEL for its sharper serifs, enhancing the tension in the scene.

DEVELOPMENT


In the initial phase, I likened the sequence to a spider web, envisioning the protagonist weaving a trap for themselves, much like a spider ensnaring itself. Yet, I discovered this metaphor overly complicated the scenes and hindered the integration of various elements.

COMPOSITE

I mainly used curve and fill colors to add a green tone and enhance the red saturation.
