The Godfather 

Camera 

The camera shot first starts with a black screen. the music then stops and in comes a voice, the person is talking for a few seconds before you see any face. The first shot you see is an close up of a man talking. it then zooms out until you see that the camera shot is originally an over the shoulder shot. You can tell  that he is talking to someone from the police force, such as an inspector. It stays on the same shot while the man is talking to the other person.

Sound:

First of all music starts playing this is non diegetic. After a while you can hear a voice talking about a women. This sound is diegetic, not being able to see the face of the man talking suggests that the man doesn’t want to be seen. When the man is talking you can tell that he has emotion so maybe he knew the person. when you first see the face of the man you can see that he is proud as he is talking proudly about America. 

Editing:

During the opening, it is very slow. the editor tries to give a calm effect as you can hear relaxing music. although this music can also sound intense as it makes you think what is going to happen next. this is good because it will make the audience continue on watching it. The music then cuts and in comes a voice but you cant see no face. this seems mysterious as you want to know who’s talking so you continue watching it.
