Background noise	This creates the atmosphere in a scene, for example the sound of intercoms, a lot of people talking and planes taking off will give the impression of an airport.
Background music	This usually ties in with the action. It can be used to let the audience know what is about to happen or to affect their emotions. The music heard at the start of the film sets the tone for the whole film and can be repeated at important times throughout.
What are the 5 different types of music used in films?	-Loud, rhythmic and fast- supports violent of rapid action -Soft, melodic, use of harmony- romantic -Sudden and discordant, use of brass and percussion- humorous -Electronic, synthesised- sci-fi -Rising melody, discordant- builds tension.
Natural Light	The best shots are made with light to one side of the subject. This avoids heavy shadowing, little shadowing (which creates a flat appearance)and squinting. Shadowy outdoor areas create dark pictures.

Who directed "The Godfather"?	Francis Ford Coppola
When was "The Godfather" released?	1972
When is "The Godfather" set?	The 1940s
Who wrote the book "The Godfather"?	Mario Puzo
State the 2 main objects of symbolism in "The Godfather".	Hats and Doors
What are the 4 main themes of the film?	-"It's business, not personal" -Family vs. Business -The different worlds of men and women -Corruption
Give an example of the use of hats as symbolism in the film	Before Michael becomes involved in the family business, he doesn't wear hats, but as he becomes more involved he wears one. He wears a classic, dark gangster suit complete with fedora hat when he visits Carlo before having him killed.
What do hats symbolise in the film?	The hat signifies Michael's deeper descent into the criminal underworld.
Give an example of the use of doors as symbolism in the film	Any time business is discussed, the door to the study is closed, blocking out the women. The classic example of this is the end of the film when the camera cuts to show the door closing on Kay.
What do doors symbolise in the film?	Doors represent the divide between the male and female world.
Give 2 quotes to support the "It's business, not personal" theme throughout the film	- "We are not murderers." Vito - "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse".
Analyse the "It's business, not personal" theme in the film.	The mafia uses phrases such as "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse" to try and convince themselves that they are in a legitimate business so that they can look themselves in the mirror without being overwhelmed by guilt
Analyse the Family vs. Business theme in the film.	Even though it is called the "family business" the 2 words have very different meanings. The family is kept away from the brutal business side of things. Michael struggles with this, trying to keep his family together and consolidating his power.
Analyse the Different worlds of men and women theme in the film.	In the world of the mafia, Vito tells his son men and women live in vastly different realms. Women can not only be careless but carefree. Kay has doors closed on her. Women are kept away from any discussion of business.
Give a quote to support the fact that men and women live in different worlds in the film	- "Women and children are careless. Not men."- Vito
Analyse the theme of corruption in the film.	The film charts the corruption of Michael. The film also features a corrupt police officer- McCluskey. We learn at the beginning of the film that various judges and senators have sent gifts to the wedding,
Give quotes to support the theme of corruption in the film.	-Michael-"My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator." -Kay-"Do you know how naïve you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed." -Michael- "Who's being naïve, Kay?"
What are the 3 key scenes of the film?	-Opening sequence- office and contrast with wedding outside -Hospital scene- turning point and scene of great tension -closing sequence- Baptism an executions (climax)and final office scene in which door is shut on Kay.
State the 6 stages of Michael's transformation.	-Wedding scene -Hospital scene -Restaurant scene -Returns to Italy wearing Mafioso suit. -Baptism scene -Final office scene
Describe Michael in the Wedding scene	-Arrives late to wedding wearing army uniform, not black suit. Is an outsider to the family and the family business.
Give a quote to describe Michael in the wedding scene.	"That's my family, Kay. That's not me."
Describe Michael in the hospital scene.	He is nervous at first but quickly takes complete control of the situation.
Give 2 quotes to describe Michael in the hospital scene.	-"I won't panic." -"I'm with you now. I'm with you."
Describe Michael in the restaurant scene.	Very Angry. He kills Sollozzo and McCluskey.
Describe Michael in the Baptism scene.	-Swears allegiance to God whilst people are being killed on his orders. -Carlo is soon killed, which Vito would never have allowed. Michael is much more ruthless.
Gives quotes to describe Michael in the baptism scene	-Priest- "Do you renounce Satan?" -Michael- "I do renounce him."
Describe Michael in the final office scene.	He lies to Kay and is called Don Corleone.
Give the opening quote from the opening sequence.	"I believe in America." Bonasera
What does the opening sequence do for the film as a whole?	The opening scene includes both the office scene and the wedding scene. We learn a lot about the characters. Establishes the theme of women and men living in very different realms in the mafia world. Introduces the family business.
What do we learn about Fredo from the opening sequence?	Fredo, appearing drunk, is not included in the discussions taking place in the office. He is portrayed as foolish.
What do we learn about Vito in the opening sequence?	Vito Corleone is a powerful mafia figure-judges and senators are sending wedding gifts and Bonasera must show respect in order to gain his help.
What do we learn about Sonny in the opening sequence?	He is impetuous- smashes the camera of an FBI agent, has sex with a bridesmaid. He is a slave to his desires. His fury at the attack on his sister is ultimately what leads him into a trap and results in him being murdered.
What do we learn about Tom in the opening sequence?	He is adopted. He is trusted in the family despite the fact that he is not a blood relative and is the family's lawyer.
Give a quote about Tom in the opening sequence.	"He's a good lawyer. Not a Sicilian, but...I think he's going to be Consigliori." Michael.
Describe the sound in the opening sequence.	-Godfather theme tune at the beginning of the movie sets a sombre mood. -Wedding party outside contrasts with the heavy silence in the office.
State 4 important aspects of the Mis En Scene of the opening sequence.	-Rose and Cat in office -Michael's highly decorated army uniform -Office blinds are closed, despite it being daytime -Dark suits
Analyse the rose and cat in Vito's office in the opening sequence.	-Rose could symbolise blood -Cat could symbolise Vito's vulnerability -Both together suggest, perhaps mistakenly, that Vito has a soft side.
Analyse Michael's uniform in the opening sequence.	He belongs to a different family at the beginning of the film. He is a man of honour who does not fit in with this criminal life, he is an outsider.
Analyse the closed blinds in the office in the opening sequence.	Shows the highly secretive nature of the family business and the mafia underworld.
Analyse the dark suits in the opening sequence.	Typical attire of mafia members. Anyone not wearing one is clearly an outsider.
Describe and analyse the lighting in the opening sequence.	-Wedding scene- very bright lighting, creates happy carefree atmosphere. Contrasts with office. -Office- very dark lighting appropriate to the conversation of murder. Creates serious, dark atmosphere.
Comment on 5 aspects of the movement of actors in the opening sequence.	-Vito in chair- power -Sonny in background- waiting to take over -No women in office- male dominated world -Michael positioned at far right of wedding photo and he sits outside with Kay the whole scene- symbolically distant from the family.
Name and analyse 2 camera angles in the opening sequence.	-Wedding scene- high angle establishing shot establishes setting of the wedding (The Corleone garden) -Office scene- zoom out over the shoulder shot builds suspense about the character of the godfather.
What are genre markers?	The factors within the film which help you to decide what genre it belongs to.
What genre is "The Godfather"?	Gangster film.
Name the 4 genre markers displayed in the opening sequence.	-dialogue, props & costumes -Respect: people rehearse what they are going to say before meeting with Vito Corleone and kiss his hand -Seriousness of conversations- business-like tone -Immediate introduction to them of violence
Why is the hospital scene significant for Michael?	This is the beginning of Michael's path to corruption.
In what essay questions would you focus on the hospital scene?	-Questions on atmosphere (tension) -Questions on Turning Point (Michael) -Questions on Key Scenes
How is tension built at the very beginning of the hospital scene?	-Hospitals are usually places of safety. But the danger in the scene subverts the feeling of security and makes the viewer feel uneasy. -This effect is also achieved by the Christmas lights which frame the large, dark entrance. They contrast.
What is non-diegetic sound?	Sound whose source is neither visible on the screen nor has been implied to be present in the action.
State a key example of non-diegetic sound being used in the hospital scene.	-When Michael sits with Vito and tells him that he will take care of him, the title track of the film plays over the scene. This indicates that he is to become the new godfather and take the reigns of the family business.
What is diegetic sound?	Sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film.
Give 3 key examples of diegetic sound in the hospital scene.	-Echoing footsteps suggest a ticking clock or heartbeat and ratchet up the tension of the scene -The stuck record -Thunder when McCluskey arrives- signifying that the police are NOT there to help.
What type of camera angle is used in the hospital scene when Michael arrives at the hospital and when he is moving through the corridors and what impact does this have?	-Long shot is used. -Makes him seem isolated and vulnerable.
What type of shot is used in the hospital scene when Michael runs up the stairs to his father's room and what impact does this have?	-High Angle shot -makes him look powerless.
Where is the camera positioned when Enzo comes into view in the hospital scene and what impact does this have?	-Positioned from behind Enzo. -Adds tension and develops a sense of mystery about him.
Comment on 3 key aspects of the lighting in the hospital scene and state what impact they have.	-Dimly lit shot of the hospital suggests that something terrible will/already has happened -Low key lighting faintly shows outline of Michael's face -half lit face symbolises his character changing into a Mafioso and adopting a dark, criminal lifestyle
State 3 key uses of props in the hospital theme and state the impact they have.	-half eaten sandwich/stuck record- hospital has been vacated quickly. -Michael casts away Enzo's flowers- casting away his soft side -Michael lights Enzo's cigarette with steady hands- he is suited to this world of violence
State 3 key aspects of the movement of actors in the hospital scene and state what impact they have	-Michael kisses his father's hand- he is adopting mafia customs -nurse jumps into foreground-startles audience -Michael opens door to Vito's room slowly- he is afraid of what he will see.
What does the closing sequence begin with?	The baptism scene montage.
What is a montage?	A rapid succession of images that link different scenes.
What is Juxtaposition?	Placing of images beside each other to show contrast and/or to reveal similarity.
What is the moral contrast in the baptism scene?	There is a moral contrast between the expectations of the Christian lifestyle Michael obviously adheres to and the violent brutality of his crimes. Michael is committing sins whilst renouncing Satan.
What is the contrast/ similarity between the baptism of the child and Michael in the baptism scene?	-There is a contrast between the purity of the child to which Michael is becoming godfather to and the moral stance of organised crime members -He is becoming godfather to the child while simultaneously becoming "Godfather" to the family business.
State 3 key aspects of the Mis En Scene of the baptism scene.	-Michael's face is particularly serious throughout the scene. -The attackers seem genuinely calm when they are carrying out their actions. They are not fazed by the brutality which is an integral part of their work -Numerous shots of the mafia preparing
State the overall impact of the organ music during the baptism montage.	Whilst the organ music is initially diegetic, it plays throughout the whole scene acting as a non-diegetic addition to the montage. It is ominous, representing the threatening nature of the gangsters. Develops tension and suspense as the volume increases.
State the impact of the organ music stopping during the baptism montage.	Music stops abruptly when Michael is asked for the final time to renounce Satan. This allows us to focus solely on Michael's words, which are hypocritical and act as a device to divide the 2 parts of the scene: the baptism and the attacks.
State the impact of the baby's screams during the baptism montage.	The audience hears the baby's screams representing Michael's final descent into evil. He is becoming godfather in 2 respects. The screams represent the fear of those who are pure and innocent of Michael and his vicious nature.
What effect does the editing to create a montage of the baptism scene and the assassinations have in the closing sequence?	It juxtaposes baptism and the assassinations, highlighting the hypocrisy of Michael's character and the result of his descent into evil.
What is the impact on the audience of the various shots of the assassinations during the closing sequence?	The fact that we see numerous people being killed demonstrates the sheer brutality of Michael and his "business", showing how widespread the killings are and the severity of the attacks. This stresses that Michael has become fierce, cruel and vicious.
What does the preciseness of the assassinations in the closing sequence tell the audience about Michael?	How carefully and meticulously he has planned everything.
Identify the 2 killings which take place on request from Michael after the baptism in order.	-Tessio, then Carlo.
What does the killing of Carlo in the closing sequence reveal about Michael?	He is shrewd. Since he has already killed Tattaglia and Barzini there is no need for him to find out from Carlo which boss he betrayed the family to after he has confessed.
State a quote from Michael from the death of Carlo in the closing sequence.	"Do you think you could pull the wool over a Corleone?"- Michael.
Why is the location of the final scene of the film important?	The final scene being filmed in the office in which the film began is symbolic of Michael's transformation as he was not in the office at the start of the film when business was being discussed- he is now physically a part of this world.
State 2 quotes by Connie in the final scene of the film which are particularly significant.	-Connie to Kay: "Read the papers; that's your husband." -Connie to Michael: "You waited till papa was dead and then you killed him."
What do Connie's accusations that Michael waited until Vito's death to kill her husband say about Michael?	This tells us that Vito would not have approved of the murder and so Michael, having been completely outside the family, has now become an even more ruthless Mafioso than his father.
Comment on the lighting of the final scene of the film.	- The scene is dimly lit- just like the opening scene in the office at the beginning.
What does Clemenza do in the final scene which is so significant and what does this signify about Michael?	-Kisses Michael's hand and calls him Don Corleone -Clemenza previously mocked Michael and questioned his judgement as Don so the fact that he now accepts and respects him cements Michael's power and position as head of the family.
What is the final symbolic event in the final moments of the film?	In the final moment of the film, the office door is shut on Kay, signifying her exclusion from the mafia world.
