Bridget Jones' Diary Opening Recreation
Our group decided that we would try to re-create the opening of 'Bridget Jones's Diary' (released in 2001, directed by Sharon Maguire) based on the novel of the same name by Helen Fielding.
The film is essentially a romantic-comedy,about Bridget Jones (Reneé Zellweger), a self-conscious, accident prone woman in her early thirties, who has to choose between two contrasting male love interests, the barrister son of her parents friends, Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) and her boss, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant). It had a budget of $25 million and earned $281.9 at the box office.

We chose 'Bridget Jones's Diary', because it's a British film produced by 'Working Title Films' (Eric Fellner, Tim Bevan), the production company that we will be studying later on in our course. The opening scene's mise-en-scène consists of various pieces of furniture, made to look disorganised and haphazard to emphasise Bridget's own complicated life. We are hoping to use the 6th form common room, as well as our own props to re-create this look.
