Wrongful Conviction is a video series based on music industry executive and social justice advocate Jason Flom’s successful podcast of the same title. Through podcast-style interviews with Jason and personal story-telling, we discover where the flaws lie within the criminal justice system that allows for an innocent person to be convicted of a crime. We hear from the exonerees first-hand and watch the chilling, heartbreaking, emotional stories unfold.
For the look of this series, I wanted to center less on the visual language of crime and more on the courts. Orange is used sparingly to recount prison jumpsuits, while our emphasis was on marble textures found inside courthouses, breathing life into documents, photos, and news articles through motion, and hand-written emphasis text to draw you in to these personal stories.
