Hello Animation Basics readers, my name is Hieu Vu and today I will be a guest poster for my good friend John Q.. I will reporting my personal thought on the two styles of animation that I noticed the movie How to Train a Dragon.
In the movie How to Train a Dragon I think movie makers did a excellent job at setup the staging and appeal aspect of the movie. The movie stages a idea into your head from the start then slows transitions over to appeal for the antagonist.
Staging - The main character Hiccup build a common idea of how dragons are dangerous. The movie starts a attack on the village and with a mini introduction into a few of the many dangerous dragons in the world they setup. He try's to plan and idea of how the viking are the heroes of this world and how they have to continuously defend themselves from raid by dragons.
Appeal - From that start of the movie the audience is told to hate dragons but then the slowly start building the appeal for the dragons mainly the opposite lead Toothless. Toothless starts off as a very isolated dragon and very defensive to Hiccup but then the start building the appeal for Toothless. The first thing they show his playful side but slowly trying to interact with the Hiccup. Which leads to Toothless trying to share his food with Hiccup and at the points the audience forgets how dangerous Toothless is.
