Michael kills Sollozzo- The Godfather

Before entering the restaurant, there is a beginning tracking shot of the car Michael arrives in, with the restaurant visible in the background; the entire shot is dark, with the only form of lighting coming from the name of the restaurant, lit in the window, the restaurant is also specified as Italian; this indicates that following scenes will be shot inside this restaurant. Along with only being Michael's form of light, inferring that Michael's way forward is to carry out his intended actions of killing the Italian decent, Sollozzo and arrogant McClucksy. The diegetic sound of the train passing over head symbolises a reminder that Michael must not lose sight of his intentions and that he will be continually reminded of this by the consistence of the overhead trains passing.

There are alternating medium close ups of Michael and Sollozzo throughout the earlier stages of the meeting, the audience is intended to view the scenario from Michael's emotional and physical point of view and this is exemplified as Michael is the only one of the men subject to a close up to push emphasis of his feeling of isolated and nervy consciousness. The back and forth speech is on going throughout the changes of shot, and Michael's eyes appear very fixed on Sollozzo, representing his inner detest of Sollozzo, which the audience recognise is not in the nature of Michael as he is rather alienated to the family business.
