Season
two
In the second season of The US of Eva, Jinek follows a couple of middle class Americans during Trump’s first year of presidency.
Leading up to the 2016 United States presidential election, journalist and talk show host Eva Jinek is taking a road trip from the West coast to the East coast of the United States. Throughout her journey she tries to better understand Americans and discover what’s left of the country she grew up in.
In the second season of The US of Eva, Jinek follows a couple of middle class Americans during Trump’s first year of presidency.
The opening credits are a combination of news images, sound bites, maps and portraits made during Eva’s road trip. Photo and film strips illustrate Eva’s American past.
Visualizing road trips means creating maps. We chose to use the contours of America as a frame for showing video & images. We then superimposed outlines of the states and highlighted the places featured in each episode. This way we managed to add emotion as well as functionality to the maps.
