  • In the film Amelie there was lots of Jump cut were we cut right into a new shot after another without any other cuts like Cross dissolve to change shots. (Though the jump cuts in scenes like when Amelie takes the blind man across the street and tells him about each store they past created some great emotions in it.) Also within the quick jump cuts, a cut occurs mostly during dramatic sounds, such as the loud rumbling in the shop, and quickly jumping out to a quiet, calm scene.
  • Certain scenes that are a different color created a cretin feel to the film. During the flash backs the color of the video was black and white to give it a feel of like you are looking into his past through the persons mind. Also the opening sequence with Amelie as a kid, the color of it is sepia which gives it like something strange, and or altering the tone so that the audience can grasp a sence of difference from actual time in the shot.
  • Also in the film some other parts of the film that was edited was the speed of some of the scenes. In one of the scenes with Amelie the editor slowed down the speed of the clip and in the scene when Amelie walked the blind man around the editor speed up the clip to go along with what was happening. And also the clip where she was cutting out paper, they sped up the scene when she used the scissors to help boost the effect of time, and her rush to get the message out. The slowing down and speeding up the scenes chaged the mood of both scenes in the film.
  • One last thing in the editing that they did was the special effects with the things like the light coming of the key in Amelie pocket, the glow that came off of the old blind man, and the glow and the showing of the heart of Amelie. The special effect with the key gave some forshadowing that what Amelie is going to do. The special effect with the blind man gave kind of a feeling that the man is very happy. The special effect with the Heart could be that Amelie is kind of in love with the man she sees or he might love her. Also the special effects when Amelie turnes into water created some feeling that she is scared to talk to the person she likes. All of the special effects in the film created different feeling in the film.
  • Side note...the sound editing was pretty drastic in the film. The sound helped create the tone of the scene, like the rumble and bumps in the shop during the "bathroom" scene. And at times every little sound that could of possibly been heard in real life during that scene was heard. This helped enhance the reality of the film and bring the audience to be more into the film.
