Media Diet - Sinners Prologue

I found the design when I watched the film this past week and it really enthralled me. It perfectly set the tone for the film.

Using lino cutting techniques provides not only an eerie atmosphere to kick start the film and set the tone, but it feels authentic and hand made, perfect for an expositionary piece to provide contexts on the films antagonists - The Vampries.

The Lino technique is something i have used before, yet really struggled with due to a lack of experience, but with more time and practice I'm sure id enjoy more.

The design was traditionally created first, then digitized in order for the studio to add lighting effects such as the vampires glowing eyes into the design.
