Environment, Shapes, Textures
The settings for How to train your Dragon reflect the environment during the time vikings existed. It consisted of untouched natural land formations and any human structures were created using stone and wood. The textures and shapes reflect this, through the distinctive use of rock and mossy textures combined with the natural realistic land forms.
Colour Palette
The colour palette is very grey based. The exterior scenes display luscious greens and browns with a big emphasis on light and reflect the natural scenery of the viking land. The interior scenes are either depicted in man made wooden houses or caves, which create contrast as they're portrayed using darker greys and browns. Tints of purple are often included to help give a surreal and mystic feel.
Camera Shots
The camera shots of settings in the film are often emphasized, as it is well renowned for its beautiful animation. Similar to video games, when introduced to a new scene the camera often pans accross the setting with an establishing to aware the viewer and set a particular mood. It then displays the scene from one of the characters points of view (usually Hiccup's).
