pride and prejudice- film opening analysis



Pride and prejudice starts with the sound of birds before the audience are made aware of the setting , next an establishing shot of a field appears and becomes the backdrop for the title  " universal pictures" the music , the piano notes being played also appears to reflect the movement of the sun , getting louder as the sun rises higher and higher indicating that it is morning and also highlights the title "pride and prejudice" . In addition the close up shot used of the female character later identified as Elizabeth,  the main protagonist reveals her fondness for books and early mornings.  The stillness of the camera while she walks along the bridge to the house which allows the audience to judge the house also presents the film as being from the regency era.
