Representation of Men and Women - THE GODFATHER



What does the location tell us about the character?

The location is at an office which means that the character, head chief, often spends time at work. Which, in turn leads to an unhappy relationship with his wife/girlfriend.



What does the lighting tell us about the character?

The lighting is dark, with ambience as their is a contrast of light and dark. Their is bright lighting on the women and dark lighting on the man which shows that their is a barrier between the two characters. It also shows that he might be hiding something. Another reason why the man is in the shadow is that it could mean that h is in the shadow of his father. Although he does come out of the darkness of the light which could show how he is opening up to her.


How are the characters positioned to each other?

The man is sitting down then gets up as he gets more frustrated, whereas the women is isolated from the other men, and the door is closed on her. Which could could also refer to the fact that she has been shut out off her husbands life, or more specifically, her husbands work life. Even though the women looks isolated, she takes up most of the screen, which could show that she has a important role in the movie.
