5th Analysis of Romance/Musical-MAMMA MIA

Mamma Mia-

Director- Phyllida Lloyd
The distribution company-Universal pictures
Production company- The playtone/little star production

The scene starts with a tilt up from the view of the ocean slowly moving up to a boat with a black figure of a girl standing on the boat.


 The colours used are black and dark blue to show a scene of night time and creates a sense of seriousness and mystery.Then, there is a wide angle shot to show an island some distance away from the boat which suggests a destination which is followed by another tilt up to indicate that the boat is now only a couple minutes away from the island. 




The island consists of small, white houses on the mountains. The song in the background is 'I have a dream' which is being sung by the girl on the boat as she approaches the island.

Next, is a point of view shot from the girl's point of view entering the island and walking towards a mailbox, which is shot by a Dolly.

 The colours are still different shades of blue which continues the mystery element in the story. Then, there is a full shot of the girl walking towards the mail box with letters in her hand which is shot by a Dolly. This happens alternately till she reaches the mailbox which is completely yellow, this indicates hope. Finally, there is a close up  of the girl where her face is revealed properly. She has blonde hair, fair skin and sharp features.

 Then, a long shot of the back side of the girl where she is holding mail and a wide ocean view from where she stands.


A close up of the letters with names like Bill Anderson,Harry Bright and Sam Carmichael which gives a sense of suspense about who they are.
