Close-up shots: in the film Amelie, the main characters are often closed up and reflect their emotions through their facial expressions. Especially Amelie's face is taken in close-up shots to portray how she feels or thinks about the fate. Whenever she accomplishes her own missions to make the others happy, her face is closed up and her big smile is shown in the shot. This is to reveal that she is very satisfied and content with manipulating the others' fate into happier and more fortunate.

High camera angle: in the film, the main characters are often taken at high camera angles to give the audience a sense that the characters are being watched by a unknown omniscient thing, which can be the fate. This type of camera angle generates a sense that the main characters act or live under the control or eyes of their own fates.

Sound: in the film, various diegetic sound effects are used to enhance the establishment of warm and humorous tones of the film. For example, when the woman in Amelie's apartment house reads the letters from her husband that Amelie made, the background music quickly changed according to the situations her husband explains in the letter.
