My Analysis
Supporting Images
Cinematography &
Camera
Techniques
Some techniques I found during the opening scene was an
establishing shot this showed where the protagonist was and
what she was doing. Similarly, I also found a medium shot that
shows what the protagonist is doing; this is singing. Also, another
shot featured was the shot of the television which we could see
through her eyes this is called a point-of-view shot.
Visual Effects &
Colour Scheme
The lighting I found that was used was low key lighting because
the setting is in the protagonists living room therefore the
lighting is dark and dull but does not perceive the scene to be a
horror but a Rom com film.

Genre Conventions
Bridget Jones Diary I believe to be a rom com movie because of
the non-diegetic sound which was sad slow music which the
protagonist was miming too. I also believe it is a romantic
comedy because the protagonist is dancing in a way that the
audience would find funny. Also with how the setting is set out;
very messy like the protagonist lives on her own.
Narrative
At the beginning of the title credits we first see the protagonist
lying on the settee looking upset this could be because of
relationship issues, this I know because throughout the title
credits we see her on her own and with how the furniture and
pictures are set out we know she lives alone. Furthermore,
because of the non-diegetic music that was playing which was a
sad song we know that her emotion is upset.

Editing Techniques
Throughout the title credits not a lot editing techniques was used
but one that I found was cutaways. This was used very effectively
to show the protagonist watching television. It was shown cutting
to the protagonist, to the TV and back to the protagonist.

Title Credit Design
The title credit design that was used was very effective and
related to the theme of the movie which was about a diary. The
title credits were big and the font that was used looks like
someone’s handwriting. The end of the title sequence shows the
name of the movie which is big, bold and easy to see and read.
