Amelie

Each scene of the film was usually heavily saturated with one particular color cast. In most cases it had a yellow or green cast. However, there were always small accents of red to balance things out. The colors were heavily saturated yet somehow looked dull at the same time (if that even makes sense). They also did a great job of matching color to the mood or tone of the scene. For example… When Amelie was reading the love letters she stole from her depressed neighbor’s apartment…. Everything in the scene was a ‘lovey’ color (red, pink, orange, etc). Rather than using obvious music to lead the viewer in the desired direction they subtly used color (tricky tricky).
