LOOKED UPON AS AN AMERICAN WAR HERO, THROUGH HIS COSTUME, INTERACTION WITH PARTY
GUESTS AND HONEST DIALOGUE
- TALKS CLINICALLY ABOUT HIS FAMILY, SHOWING HOW LITTLE

DOOR BEHAVIOUR HIS FATHER HAS IN HIS LOW KEY
LIGHTED OFFICE

- PARAGRAPH 3 - THE VIOLENCE PROVOKED THROUGH CAMERA CUTS REINFORCES ITS A
MAFIA FILM
- MOST VIOLOENT SCENE IS THE CLOSING SEQUNCE WHENERE THE
CAMERA CUTS BETWEEN THE MURDERS OF THE DONS'
- MICHAEL DECLARES THAT HE RENONCES SATAN AND IT CUTS TO MO GREEN WHO IS SHOT THROUGH HIS
GLASSES - THE BLOOD SQUIRTING FROM HIS EYES IS A GHASTLY IMAGE AND CONTRASTS WITH THE WATER AT THE BAPTISM THE CLOSE UP OF HIS CRACKED
GALSSES ADDS REALISM TO THE WHOLE SITUATION
- A FEW CAMERA CUTS LATER IT CUTS TO A WOMAN IN AGONY AS AHE IS
SHOT WITH BLASTS FROM A MACHINE GUN IN A HOTEL BED, WITH MORE
BLOOD SPURTING EVERYWHERE LEVING US SHAKEN
- THE FINAL CUT IS TO THE DEATH OD DON BARZINI WHITH FLESH HANGING FROM HIS
BACK EMPHASISNIG HIS TERRIBLE PAIN- THERE IS THE A SHOT OF HIM ROLLING DOWN
THE STEPS OF A PUBLIC BUILDING PROVIDING MORE HIGH DRAMA AND EMPHAISNG THE
END OF THE WHOLE ORDEAL
- WE SEE MICHAEL CHANGE FROM BEINH A MAN WHO DOSENT ONLY MURDER MEN
OUT OF LOVE FOR HIS OWN FATHER, BUT IS NOW A CONFIDENT MAFIA BOSS
COMPLETLY REMOVED FROM ANY SENSE OF EMOTION - PROVEN THROUGH THE CLOSE UP OF HIS EMOTIONLESS EXPRESSION
- VIOLENT SCENES AND QUICK CUTS BETWEEN THEM EXPOSE MICHAELS LACK OF
CONCERN BY CONTINUALLY REFFERING BACK TO THE CHURCH AND PRIEST WITH THE
INNOCENT CHILD

- PARAGRAPH 2 - TENSION IS BUILT UP THROUGH MUSIC
- THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRITY OF THE FILM BUT
PARTICULARLY IN THE CLSOING SEQUNCE
WITH THE ORGAN
- INITIALLY SOFT DIEGETIC MUSIC, SIGNIFYING A CALM PEACEFUL
DAY FOR THE FAMILY
- PLAYS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SEQUENCE AS A
NON-DIEGETIC ADDITION TO THE MONTAGE - THE FACT
THAT ITS OMINOUS DEVELOPS THE THREATENING
NATURE HOWEVER OF THE GANGSTERS
- THE VOLUME OF THE ORGAN REACHES A CRESCENDO AS BARZINI IS SHOT AND TUMBLES DOWN THE COURTROOM STEPS BUILD TENSION
WITHIN THE AUDIENCE - SHOCKING AND BEWILDERING AS CONFUSING AND PANICKING AS IT CONTRASTS WITH THE ,CALM, PERSONA THE
CHURCH IS SUPOSE TO HAVE
- ORGAN MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY WHEN MICHAEL IS ASKED FOR THE FINALTIME TO RENONCE STANT SHOWING HOW COLD AND DETACHED MICHAELE IS - ALLOWS US TO CONCENTRATE ON WHAT
MICHAEL IS SAYING ASN REALISE THAT HE IS RENOUNCING STAN WHILST IN CONTROL OF THE DONS LIFES
