Analysis of my Genre (Romantic Comedy) - Bridget Jones Diary



  • Title of the film: 'Bridget Jones Diary' this indicates it's about the woman and what happens in her life as in the title the fact it says diary indicates she writes whats happened to her and the film will be about that.

  • How the setting/location was revealed: she is sitting in her pajamas in a room on her own, the audience learn that it's where she lives and that she lives on her own which indicates that throughout the film she will be looking for a partner.

  • Costume and props: She's in her pajamas this indicates to the audience that she has nothing better to do other than sit at home watching television. This makes the audience seel sorry with her and feel like they know more about the character.

  • Interesting camera work/ editing: They have used fade in and fade out, this creates the image that a lot of time has past and makes the audience feel that she has been there for a long time, therefore having nothing else to do which makes them want to know how her life is going to improve throughout the film.


  • Titles and font style: The font looks like handwriting, this is affective as it goes with the theme of the diary also as it's handwriting it looks more personal and goes with the film as your being let into someones life.



  • Story and how the opening sets it up: She's on her own drinking, this shows she hasn't got a very exciting life and indicates to the audience that throughout the film her life will get more interesting so it draws them in and makes them anxious to find out what till happen.

  • The genre or the film and how it's suggested: Romance comedy, this is suggested as the main character is a female which is common for romance comedies and they usually start out lonely looking for someone, this is indicated in the opening as she is living on her own. It's also funny that she's got drunk on her own and she's singing dramaticly.
