A video of my cat from back home, for almost an hour with xfactor playing in the background.

Other influential footage 

Paperman

• Clever mix of 2D and 3D 
• Black and white save red focal point
• At the start the main character is still, the background and setting is moving as it's introduced
• The surroundings cause reactions in the characters

• Putting a War hat on 
• Her reaching for him as he goes away 
• Hand trailing across the seats of other soldiers as he goes off
• Hand rubbing over stomach, casual pregnancy 
• Playing with one another hair 
• Holding someone chin
• Holding necklace/gripping nervously 
• Holding a gun
• Griping wound
• Doing up the tie 
• Hand over chest - show medals etc in the background

A rather interesting vine creator called “Zach king” has some very clever videos that without the knowledge of video editing could be perceived as nonsense. Needless to say however that his works are incredibly clever in the way they play with perception. I’ve gone through several of his videos and picked out key things I found interesting and included my thoughts of how I could develop his ideas further and apply it to the nursery rhyme project.
