Goals—Part II:
The feel of menace
from '
The Godfather
'
'Polis Sahnesi' scene.
godfather-police-scene1cc.jpg Michael Corleone (Al Pacino)
with Enzo the Baker (Gabriele Torrei) pretend to be bodyguards.
godfather-police-scene2c.jpg Michael steadies Enzo as the assassins' car approaches the hospital.
godfather-police-scene3c.jpg Michael extends his hand into his coat to pretend he's reaching for a gun.
Godfather3c.jpg The double shadows add extra menace to the scene.
Godfather4ccr.jpg However a tighter crop works better I think.
L1400754c.jpg Lighter exposure f2.6 @1/40sec, I'm not sure which is best.

L1400749c.jpg Last in series, and... OMG this cold-blooded killer has
shifted his gaze, is he going to rub out the witnesses...

This photo is actually a candid shot. Caught him as he was waiting for me to get the camera ready and was passing time by tuning his guitar. What he didn't realize was I wanted him to be doing something totally separated from posing for photos and only pretending to adjust camera settings. The intensity of his expression while as he devotes complete attention to the sound as he asjusts the guitar is great.
