We worked with the idea of a tear or rift in the lives of the main characters, ripping apart everything in spite of hope and dedication. The horizon-line was central to the Director Gunnar Vikene and was cleverly used visually throughout the series, and we worked with the horizon as a divider, a symbol of the rift and the uncertain future.
Images are divided by water, the horizon, broken rubble, shiplines etc. often showing two motifs in each image, symbolising contrasts like: Over, and under, home and away, alive and dead, physical presence and mental state.

Approach
Benny Box made each title sequence tilt softly back and forth. Every scene had this connected tilt as if the whole sequence played out on a boat in stormy waters
