Film Case Study: The Godfather
Overview
The start of the famous trilogy in 1972, the story is about a mafia family, set in the busy city of New York. As a father prepares for his daughters wedding it becomes clearer that in fact the ‘family business’ is not what it seems. Family values become shroud in a tail of rivalry and drugs making it one of the most classic crime films ever made.
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Filming Locations:110 Longfellow Road, Staten Island, New York City, New York
Budget:$6,000,000
Introduction
I am going to carry out extensive research on crime films so that I have enough information to put together ideas to eventually make my own. This involves public opinion, examples of popular films and how the crime film genre came to be what is it today. All together each task I will carry out will enable me to include the forms and conventions of a typical crime film in my film opening.
