Aunty may be the face of Bartertown and creates the rules, but Master controls it behind the scenes. Bartertown cannot exist the way it does without Master's engineering knowledge on methane harvesting.

3D Class Week 08 Working in a Game Engine With Final Prop

2D Class Week 08 Film - Blade Runner

1. Who was the director of the film? What other movies has this director produced?

     Ridley Scott; Alien, Legend (1985), Thelma & Louise, Prometheus, The Martian


2. Artistically, what did you like about this film?

     I enjoyed the plausible depiction of a futuristic city. The city was not overblown with technological advancements, pollution or crime.


3. Was Deckard a replicant?

     Yes. Partway through the film, Deckard dreams about a unicorn and at the end of the film he spots an origami unicorn made by an associate police officer outside his apartment. This suggests the thought of the unicorn running was an implanted memory that Tyrell was experimenting with. That said, Deckard seems less durable and less coordinated than the replicants he was hunting for.
