BRIDGET JONES DIARY.

Bridget jones diary The mise en scene in the sequence of bridget jones diary, you can see that this woman is having a 'mid life crisis' as she is sitting there with a bottle of wine, a ciggarette in her pijamers. Her apartment is really messy and neglected, this could reflect her relationship, or lack of relationship. It could also show that her life is unorganised. She lives in a cliche comlex apartment. The old fashioned television could suggest that the film is old or that she cannot be bothered to buy a newer t.v. In the cinematography of the sequence, theres a long shot of the block of flats that she lives in. The shot of the flats has low key lighting which may suggest that her life and house has little excitment. There is also a wide shot of her apartment where she is smoking, drinking wine etc etc, in the shot she isn't engaging with the audience which may suggest that she has lost all social skills as she is 'forever alone'. It could also suggest that she is so swallowed up in herself that she dosen't notice that people are there to help. There is a cose up of a party hat with snow on top of it that may suggest that a part of her life is over and she's sad and lonley. These let the audience know how Bridget is feeling and are used to try and make the audience feel compassion for her.

At the start of the sequence, the music starts off diegetic and changes to diegetic half way through the sequence. This lets the audience connect with the character as it is a well known song that everyone knows. On top of this there is a voice over of Bridget explaining her inner thoughts and explaining just lonley she thinks she is. This also engages the audience as they are getting closer with the character already as she is expressing and sharing her feeling with them. There is a sound bridge throughout the whole sequence. The lyrics 'all by myself' are used to reflect her life at the moment which is surrowful until the drums come in and she suddenly becomes posetive and motivated. The titles at the start of the performance are in a bright colour, this shows that film is going to be less serious and that it might even be funny. There is also a cross dissolve from her drinking wine and smoking, this shows a passage of time and suggests that she's demotivated. This also shows that she dosent have the energy to even get off her sofa. This relates with the audience as they may have had a 'mid life crisis' and haven't been able to get off the sofa.
