What extra elements "make" the film?

The matrix:
- Camera angles + focused shots on faces (Morpheu's glasses)
- Dark, gothic costumes - but well design
- Mysterious setting, abandoned, 'putrifyingly elegance'
- Storm outside - sound - adds mystery, drama, etc.
- Body language + expressions (Morpheus = confident, Neo = confused)
- Framing of armchair and its shadow.
- Colors - filtered to give impression




Think about the sound + color:
- "Amelie" :
   Sound
   - Non digestic: Happy music
   - Digestic: a narrator is telling the story, describing each character with the things they like and the things they dislike too.


   Color:
   - Bright
   - Retro colors used
   - Yellowish and greenish filters
   - Colors make the illusion that are memories being told
   - Beginning of the day, yellowish colour.
   - A lot of contrast in colors


- "Traffic"
- "Schlndler's List"
- "Pulp Fiction" / "Reservoir Dogs"
- "Matrix"
