The editing in the film Bonnie and Clyde was very different from other films of the time. Instead of continuous shots the editor would cut the film so that you skipped all of the travel time. A good example of this is at the beginning of the film when they leave Bonnie's house and are driving down the road. Instead of watching them drive the whole way, the editor cut and they were already in town. Another way that the movie was edited was to show two things happening at the same time in two different places. The fight scenes were good examples of this because there would be a shot of Bonnie and Clyde and then a cut to show the cops surrounding them outside.

Bonnie and Clyde

The movie Bonnie and Clyde was a huge miss for me. I honestly didn't really like the film, I thought that the action in the film wasn't entertaining enough even though the story line was decent. You might not know but Bonnie and Clyde were two famous bank robbers in the southern United States. The story line basically follows the lives of Bonnie and Clyde and shows their developing relationship during the time of their run from the law. The story line and plot are the best parts of the film because the film Bonnie and Clyde show the real story of Bonnie and Clyde. The reason that I didn't like the film is because they could've embellished more in order to make the action parts of their story more entertaining.

The film The Godfather is spectacular in more ways than just one. The plot and acting might be amazing but, the way that mise-en-scene is used also adds value to the film. There are many different ways to look at the mise-en-scene in this film but i'm just going to look at the props.

Props have a vital role in The Godfather in both instrumental and metaphorical ways. Instrumental props are those that are used according to their normal function. When a prop is metaphorical, it hold a deeper meaning to part of the film. A metaphorical prop could show a theme or even allude to a character's feelings. An instrumental prop in this film would be any of the weapons that are used by the characters. On the other hand, a good example of a metaphorical prop would be the desk in the Don's office.

In my opinion, the most important prop in the film is the desk in Don Corleone's office. Throughout the film the desk is a separation between the Don, the rest of the family, and the people that come to ask the Don for advice or help. The only time that anybody beside the Don of the Corleone family comes behind the desk, is when they're invited. The desk is a symbol of the Don's power and also of the difference between the roles in the family. The first prop that you see in the film is the desk, and it is also the last one at the end when the family is moving out of the house.
