A large group of Viking warriors are huddled together, their battered armor reflecting off the dim, low key lighting. It’s a wide shot, framed to show the natural forest environment around them. Tall, foreboding trees give the shot depth, whilst the scattered warriors offer a balanced composition.
Suddenly, a high angle shot reveals an Allosaurus bursting from the treeline, disrupting the balance and altering the focus of the previously tranquil scene. The once muted colors are now contrasted by the vibrant dinosaur breaking into the shot.
In the background, a fleet of starships burst through the cloudy sky, their bright lights and futuristic designs contrasting heavily with the earthy colors and primitive technology of the vikings. An unexpected juxtaposition in the perspective between the past and the future, earth-based and space-based technology, shines through the thematic approach of the scene.
The sudden blast of ship thrusters results in a shift in the camera movement, jolting quickly to the sky to capture the armada overhead, thereby changing the scenic space from a dense forest to an open star-filled sky. The placement of starships establishes the unexpected surrealism invading the reality of the Vikings.
