We landed on an approach that focused on Ghislane as part of a larger narrative, a far-reaching story that involves a number of powerful figures. Dark and grainy archival imagery of Ghislane and her peers are paired with gold foil treatment on type, while soundbites describing the glamour and wealth of her lifestyle play in the background. As the words get more sinister, the gold foil gets stripped away from the typography, alluding to the unearthing of what’s beneath the surface. Not everything is what it seems. 

We also shot Ward documentary-style, peppering in those moments alongside black and white photography from Ghislane’s past. This offered viewers a more candid authenticity, bringing Vicky to light as a contributor to the story and not as the star. We opted for a piano-driven track to underscore the design, further playing into the mystery and the ambiguity of the crime.
