Bridget Jones' Diary (Maguire, 2001, UK/Ireland/France)













Rom Com vs Thriller 


Similarities:
   - The music is used to reflect the genre of the film.
   - Both establish a setting
   - They both introduce a/the main character(s)
   - They both have titles (that reflect the genre)




Differences: 
  - Thriller has dark, orchestral music whereas rom coms have up beat (often well known) lyrical
    songs. 
  - The way we meet a character
  - The vibe we get
  - Thriller often starts with something gruesome/bad, romcoms start with something funny and/or
     happy
  - The lighting is different
  - The target audience
  - The character age/sex
