I feel that this opening sequence is very similar in many ways to our opening film sequence. For example; We both use animation for our children's film opening sequence; We both use dinosaurs as our main characters; We both decided to film the majority of footage on a green and tropical island and also include a variation of setting (dark, grey and spooky atmosphere when suited); We both have a bad guy in our opening sequence and our main characters get into a spot of trouble; We both introduce characters by showing the type of things they get up to; We both have a very happy atmosphere for most of the sequence and all the main characters are great friends; We have similar soundtracks (happy, relatively fast paced and lively); We both use sound effects of tropical birds etc; We both use a lot of similar camera shots. Most commonly the zoom shot and both use continuity editing; We also both use the title of the film in our opening sequence. However, despite all the similarities there are some differences. Firstly and most obviously, although we both use animation, we didn't use CGI (computer generated images) unfortunately with out limited budget we had to use plasticine models; We include a lot of dialogue in our opening sequence, whereas 'The Land Before Time' uses none; There is a lot of movement and running around in their opening sequence and a lot more advanced editing is used in their opening sequence. We use text to introduce the characters names and use more production details and credits.
