Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Musicology - Popular music, grade: 1,3, University of Bonn (Institut für Anglistik, Amerikanistik und Keltologie), course: The 19th-Century novel and its Impact on Popular Culture, language: English, abstract: Bridget Jones's Diary is a popular adaption and both, novel and movie, have a strong noticeable atmosphere. But does this atmosphere differ or does the soundtrack support the atmosphere of the novel completely? To find an answer to these questions I will first prove the effect of music. Therefore, I will take a scene out of the movie and alter the music to create a different atmosphere and following, a different meaning. Next, I am going to analyse the introduction of the movie in respect of music. I will divide the beginning of the movie into two diverse parts. In the first one the music is played as background music and only subconsciously audible. In the second part it leads the action completely. Finally, an analysis of the beginning of the novel will be made. Here I am going to analyse the atmosphere chronologically and afterwards thematic with the help of an article by the famous writer Esther Newton.
