Color palette is huge. I wanted to take a few posts to focus on this and figured staying with Amélie to start may be a good transition.
Green, and green, and red. This whole film has a tone, vibe, feel, and much of that is due to the visual layering and planting of green, be it in set, costume, color grading, etc.
Red here is a perfect compliment, a warm point of color, fire, energy, urge amidst green seas.
Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel, and production designer Aline Bonetto are a great team.
We have a director's vision, a physical world built on this, and a style of film capture that further solidifies it.
Look into the colors also, if you are willing to go abstract. Many meanings come with each color, and at times they contradict themselves, but...
Green: connection, heart, love, nature, truth, growth. Red: love, blood, womb, family, intensity, loss, drama (plus those mentioned earlier).
Perfect colors for a story on isolation, longing, and connection.
So much opinion there, but there's something to it. Colors create vibration, vibration connects with matter therefore affecting mood and emotion.
The Amélie team plays this science so well.
Beautiful imagery.
