Don Vito is the “Godfather” but subsequently. the focal point of the movie would later on displacement to his boy Michael who at foremost was non portion of the Mafia household. but subsequently on bit by bit joined it until he became the Godfather. The rise of Michael Corleone from being a “civilian” to Godfather is made possible by a well-coordinated filming which besides involves redacting.
Editing is a movie technique where reels of movie are subjected to “cut and paste” in order to weave the scenes into a seamless sequences of events that unfold the minute it hits the Ag screen. In this movie. the manufacturers make use the uninterrupted redaction technique. This attack is employed for the intent of keeping uninterrupted or clear narrative action. It begins with the scene when Michael arrives at his sister Connie’s nuptials response which is presided by their male parent Don Vito.
This scene shows that Michael is non portion of the other “family” his male parent leads every bit depicted by him dressed in a military uniform which showed he came from the war. The following scene would be the attempted “hit” ( slaying ) of Don Vito in the market and a separate scene where Michael’s older brother Sonny was killed. This is followed by the scene where he was mauled by corrupt constabulary officers and another where he is handed a gun by his father’s mafiosi which he would utilize in a ulterior scene to kill McCluskey. one of the corrupt bulls and his father’s rival Sollozzo.
His brother’s decease and subsequently his male parent. has push him into going the caput of the “Family” which is underscored by scenes demoing the “hits” on rival Mafia leaders while functioning as the godfather of his sister’s boy. This is capped with the concluding scene where he closed the door to his survey as he is about to preside over a “family” meeting with his 2nd married woman Kay standing by the room access. These shootings were cut and pasted in a manner that it follows a progressive sequence.
The seamlessness of the scenes shows beat in the redaction and the intervals were either minimum or eliminated thereby continuing the impulse on concentrating on Michael. The movie besides makes usage of eye-line lucifers where the audience sees things ab initio from Don Vito’s position. at the beginning and exchanging to Michael. as it is shown in legion scenes particularly his confrontation with Sollozzo and switches to his married woman as shown in the concluding scene when the door to Michael’s office closes with her looking on which underscored that Michael chose his other “family” thereby sealing his destiny.
The baptism scene shows the application of the temporal relationships as it is interspersed with the deceases of rival mafiosi. bespeaking what was go oning at the same clip. In decision. the usage of ( uninterrupted ) redacting helped do the narrative of The Godfather easy to understand and to appreciate wholly as it shows a seamless stringing of scenes that show the rise of Michael Corleone to power.
