Week 3 - How To Train Your Dragon


How to train your dragon was released in 2010 by Dreamworks animations.
The film is about a young Viking that wants to kill dragons like everyone else, but he is too weak and instead ends up befriending one.
Most of this film is full of colour, there are a few scenes that I really liked. I enjoyed the first scene of the film because of all the flames in the town, giving almost everything a saturated red glow. This kind of made it feel dangerous and yet homely at the same time in my opinion.
I also loved the night flying scene half way through the film. Using complementary colours (blue and orange) worked well, but I also liked how the contrast of the highly saturated yellow torches stood out against the very blue shaded area. It made the scene look very warm and beautiful.
They portrait the last fight scene in the film very well with its use of colours. Everything was very desaturated compared to the rest of the scenes, mainly a combination of broken greys and browns, with the odd red fire ball. The colours really helped make the scene feel depressing and unfriendly.
The final scene is probably the most colourful since its meant to be the happy ending. The environment is much more saturated in the grassy areas and the colourful dragons really help lift the mood again.
