I have been working on my assignment for the novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick (2007). It is a wonderful read and a novel that is part picutre book, part graphic novel. It really does incorporate many multimodal elements, including film as movies have influenced the creation of the novel. The visual imagery mimics cinematic techniques (long shots, close ups, zoom in). The content also brings in the theme of cinema since it deals in part with French Film maker Geroges Melies creator of the silent movie, Trip to the Moon.
Selznick also mentions 3 other films that were 'very influential in the creation' of the story.One movie I have been able to source Internet Archive (a great free resource) http://www.archive.org/
Zero for conduct, 1933, Jean Vigo http://www.archive.org/details/ZeroForConductzeroDeConduit
