Mise En scene
The movie starts by showing the log of the institution involved in the making of 'The Godfather' which is 'Paramount pictures'.
After the institution, there is a black screen followed by the title of the movie before a face of man is shown. The background behind the man is dark and there lighting is only shone onto the actors face. This could be used to help the audience concentrate on the dialogue and the facial expressions of the character.
Editing
The most common transition is the 'fade-out' and 'fade-in' of each take.
No cuts are used. This may be used to continue the slow theme of the opening scene.
Sound
During the clip of 'Paramount pictures' non-diegetic slow background music starts to play. This is known as the original Godfather soundtrack.
At 0:24, the music fades out for dialogue to start; "I believe in America..."
Camera
There is no major camera movement.
Although throughout the opening, the camera starts to pan slowly from a close-up of the actors face into an over the shoulder shot of another character, adding to the audiences curiosity.

Mise en scene
The movie starts by showing the institutions involved in the making; Legendary Pictures, Warner Brothers and DC Comics. All following the Black and Blue coloured theme. This is followed by a cloud of blue smoke which then creates the 'Bat signal'.
A long shot is used to show several building and skyscrapers of 'Gotham City' during day time.
The camera zooms into a building with tinted windows and when close enough, a window bursts into pieces.Two characters, which seem to be villains due to their clown-like costumes are shown using weapons.
Another character is shown standing alone at the corner of a road holding a bag and a clown mask similar to the previous characters, showing that his role is connected to the others. He isn't alone for long as a car with two other characters with the same clown themed masks, pull over to pick him up. Following their actions, it isn't clear what they are all doing until 1:46, when the there is a conversation about 'shares'.
Editing
A few quick cuts are used to show the situations between the different characters. However they are within the same time frame; as if overlapping each other, making it mostly continuity cuts.
No transitions are used.
The first 40 seconds of the movie are edits of logos from the institutions involved in the making of the movie.
Sound
When the long shot of the buildings is shown, a ticking music starts playing in the background until the window smashes, then the music tempo builds up. This is repeated a few times which gives the impression that wherever danger is involved, the slow building tone is used to create tension before a sudden sound. E,g Window smashing, Car brakes and gun shots. There is no speech between the two up in the building, the speaking starts when the character standing alone enters the car. Here they talk about 'sharing' something, audience can immediately spot that there is going to be some kind of robbery.
Camera
The scene starts with a zooming long shot of the dull buildings of Gotham. then using over-the-shoulder shots to introduce the characters in a way that hides their true identity.
A combination of Medium shots and Close ups is used during the continuity shots which briefly shows what each (pair of) character/s is up to.
Mise en scene
After the first transition the scene that follow are within a low key lighting setting. Colours of Blue, Grey and Black are used to emphasise the emotions and mood of the characters and storyline, which is shown on the flat screen TV on the cafe wall, showing technology in the time the movie is set.
The actors used o play the role of business people at a cafe are all above 18 years of ages, this shows the importance of 'Baby Diego' as being the youngest person in the world.
The camera follows the main character into the street, continuing the low key lighting as the there is a lot of smoke produced by the famous Red London buses, cars and derelict motorcycle carriages. The pavements are black and dirty as the rubbish bins have not been managed. The people walking in the streets are all wearing dark coloured clothing, almost blending in.
However, the advertisements on the buildings and buses are all moving images relating to the year (2027) it was set.
Editing
At 0.05 a black screen cuts to the cafe scene at 0.06.
The main character walks in to the cafe and looks up at the TV screen in the top corner; which then cuts into a point-of-view to show what the character is seeing.
As the main character makes his way out of the cafe, continuity cuts is used to follow him into the streets.
Sound
Throughout the black screen and into the first scene, the voice of 2 different newsreaders is used to tell the story of the death of ' Baby Diego'. The female voice showing a more emotive tone and the male more of a neutral informative tone.
Entering the road, the sound of motorcycles, worn-out car brakes, buses and honking tunes out any casual street conversation.
The sound of the explosion and the noise after included the burst itself, females screaming, glass shattering and a high-pitched tone. This is an effect to imitate what a person at the scene would hear.
Also music from the TV is heard in the background of the cafe scene until the character enters the street, which over takes the music.
Camera Cafe
High angle shots are used that show the actors looking up to it as if the camera is the TV.
When the main character enters the room and looks up at the TV, the camera is placed at a low angle as if the camera is the eyes of the character.
The moving shot is used to follow the character out of the cafe. Street
Exiting the shop the camera films the street from right to left until the main character is within the shot. then the camera continues following the character until the camera is placed on the left side of the actor to show the explosion.
