Goodfellas film clip
The film ‘Goodfellas’ starts off with the three lead characters murdering a opposition gang member. They are dressed up in suits looking very slick and sharp showing the gangster genre. There is low key lighting at night time which produces strong contrasts and creates dramatic shadows. The killing from the beginning gives the audience a taste of what the movie is about following the quote ‘as far back I can remember I’ve always wanted to be a gangster’. The movie is also from the actor perspective ‘Henry’. The sound is non diegetic as the movie is from ‘Henry’ point of view therefore there is a voice over during movie. Light and shadow literally showing the audience the duplicitous world we are viewing. Scorsese allows his actors to grow with their characters over the thirty year time span of the film. There is use of sound bridge as the sound begins from the killing scene into the introduction of the characters and the movie title itself, it also continues into the next scene.
