Rationale

Overall I’m happy with my Maya scene “Fort Aegir” I feel as the style and themes portray the same as those in the film of how to train your dragon, I considered the colours, style, items, architecture, flora and history. I interpreted this style by creating my own scene for the movie which involves the students going on a outdoor education trip where they stay the night at a local fort which is known for its dragon sightings. I created the castle out of the same rock as the arena and used all the similar architecture of the Vikings but devolved it slightly as this building was built by the first settlers. There are remains from deadly dragon battles scattered throughout the environment to give it a living sense. I opened the scene similar to the very first with the cross ocean shot zooming into Berk and chose similar pan techniques of the film. My music is appropriate as I thought the time of day and mood I portrayed is quite still and quiet so I kept it with the “This Is Berk” track from the OST which has a soothing quiet start which is easily recognisably from the movie.
