Bridget Jones's Baby Official Trailer #1 (2016) - Renée Zellweger Movie HD



This trailer begins with well known institution logos, we usually associate this with big movies, which are likely to sell well and gain a large amount of money due to the all star cast and previous successful movies. There is use of non deigetic music of a bridal chorus you would associate with a wedding, is played over the top of the logos which help the transition as a sound bridge to the next  cut to a scene of a church hall, with the music still playing and the opening of doors where we are introduced to the character "Bridget Jones" in a wedding dress. Shots of happy people, and familiar faces are visible. There is also use of narrative in the scene of the main character this indicates to the audience that this film is a romcom genre, as voice over narratives are a typical romcom genre convention. after the voice over line "at least that's how i pictured it" it cuts to a scene of the same character in a long shot set in a living room where there is diegetic sad music playing "all by myself".This infers to the audience that the first scene was not in fact reality making us sympathise with the main character.The song "all by myself" which plays in the second scene is a key aspect of the trailer as it reminds fans of the Bridget Jones diary sequel as this song is played in the first movie when Bridget Jones the character is reflecting on how lonely she is. The editing in this trailer is done so that Bridget gets more prevalence so that we can sympathise and relate to her,this is a common convention in romcoms. The.The next shot is then a long shot of the buildings in central London informing the audience of where the movie is set. There is then another set of nondiegtic music which is upbeat and light hearted as the camera cuts to a long shot of the main character walking over the bridge in a blue formal dress. The music creates a happy mood yet again hinting at the romcom genre which has light hearted happy moments and also gloomy moments where we feel sorry for the main character. The costume she wears also connotes importance and suggests her confidence has improved since her supposed break up. There are then quick shots of her in spinning classes and crowd diving this suggests that she is happy and having fun.There is then  medium shots of her and her ex who is clearly going to be main character in this movie as he is also given a lot of prevalence suggesting he will be a love interest. As Bridget says "my love life is showing signs of improvement". there is shot of her falling face first into mud and having a handsome man help her up. The falling is also another indication of comedy genre as it is slapstick humour. The man  that helps her up is also given prevalence this suggests that there will be a love triangle happening which is expected as in the previous Bridget Jones films there was the traditional love triangle in both films. however this time there is a new character involved this proposes an enigma for the audience as it makes us wonder who will she stay with?. The nondiegetic music stops when she says "I'm pregnant" and there is a close up shot of her looking down at a pregnancy test. This shows the audience the problem that occurs in the middle of the plot and makes us wonder how she will handle this. There is an ironic moment in the next scene where the main character's voice over says "everything is under control" just as the sprinklers are set off when her work colleagues are presenting her with a cake and the sprinklers on the ceiling drench everyone in the office and spoil the cake. There is diegetic sound of a fire alarm also representing danger which instantly goes against her comment of everything being under control. This makes the audience laugh. It cuts to a shot of the film institution working title which is a successful film insitution which has produced other romcom films such us "Notting Hill".
