Love Rosie Analysis:

Love rosie opens with a romantic soundtrack and a medium shot of Rosie looking upset. Her eyes have become watery and it looks like she is about to cry. There is then a voiceover which states "start from the beginning" this implies we are about to be told a story.

There is a two shot of two children on bouncing balls. They are both smiling which suggests they are or have just become friends. The diegetic sound is of them talking to each other nicely.
There is then a close up shot of Rosie handing something to Alex under the table which suggests its secretive. Its empathising on the relationship between the two.

There is then a close up of them pointing at a globe, with the non diegetic sound (voiceover) "we share our dreams". This shows the audience that they are presented as best friends who inspire to stay friends forever and spend their lives together.

The long shot of the two in a den shows the adventurous exciting side to the two characters. Their body language also shows they are only young but quite affectionate towards each other but just as best friends. This positions the audience to feel something will progress during the film. Rosie and Alex are also given prevalence at this stage as we are trying to empathise with the main characters.




The close up of the two holding hands makes the audience sympathise with them as it comes across as cute and lovable. It positions the audience to want them to end up together and think to far into the film already.

There is then a mid shot showing Rosie as an older women surrounded by people at what looks like a wedding. The diegetic sound is her telling her speech and quoting "The most happiest day of her life, however there is then a close up of her crying which seems that its the complete opposite from what she just said.

It then dissolves into twelve years earlier at Rosie's 18th. Herself and Alex are at a night club with loud music in the background (diegetic sound). There is close ups showing shots of vodka and mid shots showing the hundreds of people in the club. It enables the audience to see her having a good time with Alex and think something may progress from this.

The close up of Alex and Rosie getting really close and kiss makes the audience feel excited for what is to come and if the two are going to end up together. The music in the background also fits well as its quite upbeat and exciting.



Unfortunately, Rosie falls of her chair and the diegetic sound of her screaming kills the romantic moment. She is then shown from a log angle passed out on the floor. It positions the audience to feel annoyed that something probably won't happen between the two tonight as she is unable to control herself.

During the Love Rosie opening Rosie is given the most prevalence as the produces want you to empathise with her and connect with her character. However Alex has also got a lot of screen time as you are learning about their friendship and relationship throughout the opening and duration of the film.
