Bridget Jones Diary (Maguire, 2001, UK) 

Bridget is seen breaking the forth wall and addressing the audience directly, by doing so the audience recognizes her now as the main character.
Building a relationship with the audience this early on is key to a movie of this genre. By doing so  Bridgets relationships throughout the movie will seem more realistic to the spectator.

Again Maguire is trying to affix the spectator with Bridget, instead now with the use of sound. Her addressing the audience is key to the narrative of the film. He cleverly uses cutaways that reflect the state of mind she is in, combined with the whimsy dialogue of her situation. This leaves the audience warming to the character wanting to know more about her depressing life.
 Another technique Maguire has used to allow audiences to asphyxiate themselves to Bridget's depressing life is editing. A cross dissolve unfurls Bridget carrying out mundane tasks in her bedroom. The cross dissolve shows time passing by which creates a sense of her not being satisfied, this dissatisfaction brings the audience closer to Bridget.

A mid-shot is used and Bridget is placed directly in the middle of the frame when she is singing her song. This allows the audience to see her directly in the middle of her natural surroundings and by placing her in the middle it reinforces her loneliness as she performs actions to the song that relates to loneliness.
Lastly, the titles reflect the diary entry nature of the film. Maguire has chosen to use the font of Sans Serif with an inconsistent font style. Their are two words in bold and one normal which conveys to the audience its doesnt follow the structure of a normal film but instead a more diary type entry format.
