The Cinderella story starts with non digetic sounds, this music as a magical feel about it which sets the scene for the film; there is an establishing shot of a castle that looks like something out of a typical fairytale film. There is then a reverse zoom as you see the castle inside a snow globe, this takes the audience away from what they would expect from a film of this genre and puts them in a more familiar setting, and this allows the audience to engage more with the character as they can relate to her. There is non digetic sounds as she talks about her past and there is music which sets a happy mood to the film. there is a two shot of two people showing that they are father and daughter, there is a calm atmosphere which is soon broken when there is a cutaway and asynchronous sounds is used and the ambulances and alarms indicate the chaos there is now in her life. There is then a close up of some writing on the wall and there is then a pan showing a happy family in the café, there is then a change in the mood as you are introduced to ‘the evil step mother’ in the film. This makes the audiences mood change when she is introduced which shows the effect she has on other characters.
