The Great Silence – Movie Poster
I was assigned the movie “The Great Silence” directed by Sergio Corbucci, a thrilling, dark spaghetti western movie about the main character working with the local bandit, to avenge his parents who were murdered, was then hired to avenge a widow’s husband. Throughout the movie, the scenes were captivating and intense, the suspense was built up incredibly, and though the ending was not what I expected, I enjoyed it very much.
For the movie poster, I used a variety of different types of printing techniques, including lino, etching and screen printing.
I wanted to create a eerie but impactful image. Using a red background creates a eye catching look and then using black for the image contrasts well, I had digitally drawn in little bits of texture and the thumb at the grave for added effect.
Final image, screen printed on A2 paper.
