As far as compositional style in the "camera" layout of shots, I really like shots where characters look strait into the camera while performing a task (as here, in Amelie) it really gives a connection to their action, and I think it would really give the audience a conspiratorial kinship with Matilda as she performs pranks on those who wrong her
Symmetrical shots to display an "inventory" of a character are also really interesting for movies with the tone of "not quite real life" quirky films. The way I view the story in Matilda allows it to exist in a kind of outside real life, while still being relatable and universal.
I plan on the setting being sort of a outside reality "everytown". Kind
of outside specific time periods or area. I don't think this story
particularly needs a setting, to help describe the plot.
Her parents are not very interested in standing out so I can see them as living in a cookie cutter neighborhood.
