I thought it only pertinenet that I also watch the short award winning film Lost and Found which is based on a different Oliver Jeffers book. As I have already talked about the development work for this film in PPP and how it was part of an exhibition at Bradford National Media Museum, I shall simply discuss elements I would like to inspire my work.

First I really like the fluidity of the boy character and how his legs bend and walk. Although his character is three d and mine will remain two did I think this technique could be easily transferred. I also think that this movie has strength in it's use of sound, as there isn't talking extra effort in the actions and the tone and mood of the sound, therefore I think picking the right song is imperative. I also like he pace of the trailer. where most shots are in between 2-5 seconds with a couple of longer ones and thats something I want to mimic in my title sequence.
