Bridget Jones's Diary

Cinematography

The part in the introduction for Bridget Jones's Diary where she starts singing "All by myself" is just a long shot that lasts for the whole length of the the song. Before she is singing the camera sits on the left of her with her positioned on the right of the cameras view. This gives the audience an overview of her room and whats inside it. However when she starts singing the camera changes its location and centers on Bridget. This is so the viewer can focus more on her whilst she is singing. The use of this is to also show that she is alone in the room and has been in there for a long time due to the mess around her. 

Mise-en-scene

In the introduction for Bridget Jones the lighting is low key which creates a dark and lonely feeling of the film. When outside there isn't much lighting but it seems brighter than it is due to the snow. Also Bridget's wearing red Christmas pajamas; the colour of the pajamas may symbolise either the love or anger she is feeling due to her being alone, it also relates to Christmas because it is red and reminds us that she is alone, even on Christmas.

Editing

In the beginning of the clip the camera tracks over to different things, the camera then fades into a different item. For example it fades into the party hat from a shot of the house. This demonstrates how insignificant she feels and could represent how she is living her life by just doing one task at a time. 

Sound 

The cliche song "All By Myself" is mimed to by Bridget Jones to show how lonely she is, the lyrics of the song simply show what her life is like. The fact that there is no diegetic sound during the clip shows how lonely she is as no one is there to talk to her.
