Amelie

Visible crew/equipment: Just after Amelie picks up Nino's dropped album, in the shot when she is sitting on some steps looking through it, the shadow of the camera crane is visible on the ground behind her. It is only seen when the camera moves over her to let us look into the album. (00:40:05)

Visible crew/equipment: Amelie steals her father's gnome, runs back to the train station, but it is closing, so she sleeps in a photobooth. As the camera zooms in on her look at the right side of the booth, and you can see a shadow casting over it from the camera crew. (00:38:05)

Paul Andrews

Visible crew/equipment: As Amelie picks up the red case containing the album in it, in the shop to the right you can see a man watching the filming through the glass door. (00:39:50)

Hamster

Visible crew/equipment: At the park, after Nino rides off, it goes to a closeup of Amelie. Before she removes her sunglasses, a crewmember is reflected in them, walking towards her with the camera. (01:13:50)

Hamster

Visible crew/equipment: When Amelie enters the Glass Man's apartment, two times the camera passes a picture frame on the wall, and both times a camera is reflected in it. (00:26:55)

Amelie mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Nino goes to 'Les deux Moulins' for the first time, we can see Amelie writing the menu on a glass right behind him. A few shots later, we see the glass again and the handwriting is quite different. That's easy to see if you look carefully at the 'd'. Later on, we see the glass once more, and the handwriting has changed again. (01:32:55)

Trivia: Amelie is shot in two main thematic colours: red and green, which vary according to situations and moods. Watch it again with that in mind.

Question: What is the significance of the second video Amelie gives the glass man? I understand the first one - the horse is with the cyclists, and yet different from them, like the girl in the painting. But I don't get the second one.

Answer: As far as I can see, Amelie is just trying to give him a view of the world, so he doesn't become entirely cut off.
