"Lost and Found" Omeleto

Mise-En Scene-

Being the setting, lighting and costumes, this is an extremely important part of the film to put it all together in an aesthetically pleasing way. For the setting the film is based in an Asian restaurant, details shown from Japanese writing on the boxes and walls, as well as the shoji (Japanese sliding doors). This really emphasizes the clear location of the film. Following the lighting is generally dark in this film with shadows around the corners of the screen as the conflict is happening at night. The only time the lighting changes is in the following day when the fox is trying to crochet the dinosaur back together, the scene before demonstrated the fox starting to piece the dino back together while it was night and as the next scene is light and the fox looks tired it can be analyzed that the fox has been trying to crochet the dino all night long. To provide contract from the mostly nighttime film the colors of the crochet characters are very bright and vivid, bright green and orange.

Editing-

Starting with font/colors, the title of the film "Lost and Found" is first written green and orange the same colors of the main characters. Most importantly it is written in a crochet yarn with a knot on the &. This demonstrates the connection between the two characters (the dino and the fox) how they are tied together emotionally. The credits follow the similar softness of the font, being in white with many loops and cursive. Due to the whole film being animated editing was required to make the entire film.
