Amelie

Today after discussing more ideas the film Amelie came to mind, in the sense that the main character finds excitement in things most adult wouldn't, similar to the message we are trying to send to the audience that children find excitement in things adults don't. This is most apparent in the scene 'Things Amelie likes' in which the narrator explains things Amelie enjoys, such as going to the cinema, but rather to watch other members of the audience than the film, the feeling of sinking he hands into a bag of seeds, and skipping stones. 

Although it doesn't directly relate to our idea, it gives us some ideas of to what the children in our film could find exciting. Also perhaps the idea that, through her actions, Amelie brings excitement to other peoples lives, for example, getting her father to travel the world by stealing his garden gnome and getting her air hostess friend to take pictures of the gnome in different locations around the world. Perhaps this is something we could incorporate into our film, as people commonly say that children bring excitement into their lives

Another thing that really sticks out from the film is how visually bright it is, it uses such beautiful colours causing it to have a playful atmosphere, and this is something that I feel we could also incorporate at the start of the film when it is in the child perspective.
