Wozzeck

Shot on the set of WNO’s Wozzeck production this advert was trailed at independent cinemas in Bristol, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Warwick, Southampton and Poole.

The trailer was part of a wider marketing campaign that took as its visual motif the bar code and bean tins associated with Richard Jones’s award-winning production. The setting created on stage was of a de-humanised, industrialised world – including the stark interior of a baked beans factory. We worked with this approach, and also looked back to the period in which the composer was writing – 1920s Germany, and the impact of art & design movements such as Bauhaus – to create some of the special effects.
