The World of 1984
1984 is a classic dystopian novel by English author George Orwell first published in 1949.
The novel (which was set in the future UK at the time) presents a nightmarish version of the year 1984 where the nation ‘Oceania'; is in a state of perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, and public manipulation.
The superstate and its residents are dictated by a totalitarian regime 'The Party' which rules with the idealogy of English Socialism, or “Ingsoc” which clamps down on all forms of independent thought and freedom with fear and brutality and where ‘Big Brother’ is always watching you.
The ruling party’s slogan is:
"War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength" .
The title sequence is designed to invoke the atmosphere of this world.

Frames from the Title Sequence
A world divided into three 'supernations'- Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia, constantly at war. Or are they?
The party rules a dilapidated London from four Pyramids that tower over a broken city- the Ministry of Truth, the Ministry of Plenty, the Ministry of Peace and the nightmarish Ministry of Love.
Room 101, the torture chamber in the Ministry of Love.
Thank you.
