I admire this film very highly not only as a cinematographer but also as a story teller. Throughout the film I notice that Paris is the main character the director is showing Paris of in a good light, most of the scenes in Paris are shown in grey and I think this is to show the red balloon more so it will standout. I think the cinematographer Edmond Séchan has shown this through his camera work. One of the other things I love that Edmond Séchan did is the use of Cinéma vérité and where you get reactions from normal people you also get movements that an actor cannot get naturally.
