An illustrative example is the golden ticket won by the protagonist of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. It grants the protagonist, Charlie Bucket, access to Willy Wonka’s fantastical factory and marks the beginning of a journey that tests character, rewards virtue, and leads to a life-changing transformation. Comparing this ticket with the one designed in the remake over thirty years later, the shots are nearly identical, both using a close-up of the ticket. While both versions serve the same narrative purpose and contain the same content, the visual hierarchy of this film and the presence of the factory logo of the newer one, give not only a greater sense of realism, but also make it easier to understand what it is about. It is important to consider the differences in historical context and design conventions of the time in which the first film was made; however, the more recent version demonstrates a cleaner layout and greater legibility. Ultimately, this comparison suggests how thoughtful design can be more effective in the communication and perception of a film.
