Bridget Jones Diary Opening Sequence

The opening sequence starts with a mid shot showing her after christmas eating food and the shot shows a happy high key lighting setting, this is different from a thriller because a thriller starts with low key lighting and gives clues about the identity of the main charecter, with a rom-com they show the identity of the main charecter straight away. after the mid the camrea tracks the main charecters movement as she walks towards the camrea, as she walks there is a voice over of the main charecter talking to the audience her thoughts. this is different to a thriller because they don't use a voice over and they create a different audience effect and they make the audience show different emotions towards the main charecter and ask many questions.

The similarites between a thriller and rom-com is that they both introduce the main charecter either straight away or straight as the openign sequence starts, when the music starts playing it creates atmospher and creates the mood of the film for the audience. the setting is shown in the first shot and this allows the audience to start to get clues about what has happend and about the genre of film it is and allows the audience to understand it more.
