The film starts with a mid shot showing the main character, this makes us focus on her, there is then a narrative voice, this makes you feel as though the main character is addressing you personally and this draws the audience in, especially single women who can relate to what she is talking about. She talks about funny events in her life which make it more interesting to the audience. There is then an establishing shot which shows a small typically English town, this interests an American audience because they are very interested in things typically English. This also shows where the character lives and tells us more about her life and who she is. The small quiet village could reflect her personality. There is an over the shoulder shot which shows things from her perspective and gives you an idea of what she sees. You then get a better understanding of her family life when she enters the house. You meet more characters who each have very different personalities. As she first enters the house you see her talking to her mother, there is a two shot of them both and close ups of each of their faces during the conversation showing you how neither of them have a lot in common, this makes you have sympathy for Bridget and the fact that not everything is going right for her emphasises on how women can relate to her, her mum talking to her about meeting other men at the party makes this seem even more relatable to single women. As she enters the house and meets other characters the music becomes diegetic which reflects the cheerful mood of the party, but the close ups of Bridget’s face reiterate how not everything is so perfect for her and she isn’t as happy as many of the other characters, this make the audience feel sorry for Bridget. There are many questions asked by Bridget and to her by other characters and this draws the audience in as it make them curious to what will happen next, this really grabs the audience and makes them want t carry on watching.
