The opening of The Godfather starts of in a dark badly lit area that doesn’t show much apart from the character talking. Only the characters face is shown in the opening shot not allowing the viewer to know where it is being filmed and what is going on.

As the scene continues the camera slowly begins to zoom out allowing the viewer to see where the film is being set and more of the room is being showed giving the viewer the thought of being able to see what props are being used. The use of Misc-en-scene shows how the use of costume allows the viewer to see what is happening in the room.
