How the director engages with the audience in the narrative and characters of the film

Amelie :

The director in engages with the audience in the narrative by showing things which bring laughter e.g. The description of the exact time When the fly sat down on the street and got squished this is unnecessary and doesn't need to be known but grabs the audience's attention

Also engages with the audience by the visual (The picture) It was the middle/end of the sequence with the little girl Amelie 
Is doing the type of things a little girl her age would do to keep themselves entertained. This also shows isolation because she's playing alone. 

The soundtrack is another reason as it Sounds funny and very French and with the fast French narration it even funnier. But when the sequence shows her playing on her own it sounds sad and slow. 

The director Engages with the audience in the characters by showing this little girl playing on her own and through the expressions and actions E.g.  The part when the narration explains why the man is a a erasing a contact - It's very funny and Realistic because either we have or will Have to do a erase a contact because the person is dead or gone Also the narrator is another reason why we engage with the characters because he is explaining everything.

The godfather : 

The director engages With the audience in the narrative by having the voice of the character on before the picture is Shown This grabs the attention of the audience because we think we are being spoken directly to (non - diegtec/narration) But actually it is diegtec Because the characters are speaking to each other. 

The positioning of the godfather also engages The audience because it says he is the main or head person.  
Also in the action of the waving of the hand to get the man a drink show he has power and wealth. 

 The director engages with the audience by the characters with the lighting e.g. When the scene starts from back to on the Man's face when one light shining directly on him ( to make him the focus point but also to set the mood) that it is dark and sinister.

The soundtrack also engages the audience because it sounds lonely, dark and sinister which makes you relate it to the godfather.
