Amelie+Analysis+DL

1.

This shot has non-digetic elements that the editor clearly put in during post-production. The texts represent where Nino lived all along and where Amelie lived all along. They lived only 5 miles apart and its significant, because we can see that they lived so close to one another. It seems almost like fate.



This is a shot that follows up the shot above. The editor uses split screen and indicates a certain aspect of parallel structure. The editor seems to do this in order to indicate how the two characters are alike and how they were meant for each other.

During this scene, as Gina comes to give coffee to Nino and leaves, through intricate editing, Amelie seems to appear out of no where. This choice of editing seems to hint and express metamorphic-ly that Amelie is an omnipotent character that always watches what Nino is doing without him noticing it.

This scene is when Amelie takes the lady's letters and crop it into another letter with a whole different meaning. As Amelie works on the letter, the editor decides to make it look really fast paced. This quickness of this scene and how she manipulates the fate of other seems almost "god-like".
