In class, we enter into deep discussions and develop strong ideas about the Godfather. We stop throughout the movie so that we can highlight and capture the key and most important scene. However, even though this makes the movie slightly confusing to understand, it still allows us to understand more in depth as to what is going on; probably something we wouldn't understand if we were to watch the video the whole way through. This technique also helps to identify characters and the action which is taking place.
There was an example in the movie, when the film director adjusted the lighting so that it created a halo around the Godfather. Everything else in that one scene was completely black except for the lighting around the Godfather. The lighting made the Godfather look more powerful then he already is. Also, an idea which came to mind when watching this scene was how the white represents purity and something good, whereas black represents darkness and something bad. The lighting technique made the Godfather look like he is the most powerful person in the world, which most people consider him to be.
