4 choices the director made in Amelie
color
Jeunet uses the colors green and red with yellow lighting throughout the film. This gives it a very warm, bright, and a somewhat childlike feeling.
music
close-ups of main character
This film is all about Amelie and how her actions affect the people's lives around her. The camera follows Amelie all the time- there are many close-ups of Amelie that shows her reaction towards what's happening.
narration
Jeunet uses voice over narration right from the beginning of this film. This gives a feeling the viewers are told a story about Amelie from the narrator. It is an effective tool to track Amelie through the film and keep the fairy-tale-like feeling.

Good! Way to be convincing about the color argument. Since its actually part of the plot of this film, it ties the theme together nicely. Good examination of the shot sequence with the gopher.
