Best shots from Amelia

For me this is one of the best shots within the film Amelia. At first this shot can look normal and boring , but its the feeling you get from the shot which makes it special. From the simple choice of prop , to the comedic facial expressions , you gain a connection with the character. This type of shot is used frequently within the film where Amelia will look directly at the camera as if she is addressing the audience. Although no words are spoken to the camera , there is no need as her facial expression do enough to allow you to understand what she is feeling and thinking. The spoon in her hand adds emphasis to the innocents which is already being portrayed. Theses types of shots are what make the film unique and gives it that difference to other similar films. You gain a connection with the character , making you more interested naturally as you follow her journey. This is a brilliant technique as it keeps your audience interested. The colours used are also very plain but that suits the character herself , who may seem very ordinary at look. I believe this what the director could have been aiming for. As they make Amelia look normal , it makes her journey look more extraordinary. The contrast of the two is what the story is built around.
