The Godfather



The mise-en-scene in this opening shows us a group of men sitting and talking in a dark room, darkness is a convention of unhappiness/secrecy/fear so this could mean that the film will be about/involve all these things. Furthermore the men in the room are all well dressed which connotes that they are well off or rich. The sound in this opening allows us to hear a man talking about how his daughter was brutally attacked by a group of drunk men, this could mean that we could see more voilent acts in this film or this film will be about that violent attack on the man duaghter. The camera shows us an over the shoulder shot of the Godfather when the man is talking about his daughter, this means the man is talking to the Godfather. The editing techniques show us a reaction shot of the godfather after the man asks him to gives justice and kill those who attacked his daughter.
