The god father how is tension created

The scene starts with a close up (CS) of Michael's face, this shows the audience that in this situation Michael feels trapped and isolated, however the police officer feels the opposite of Michael and we know this because the shots he is in are mid shots (MS) which shows us that the police officer has control of this situation.

When they start to speak in a different language it shows us that they don't want anyone including the audience to be listening to them, it also shows that the audience is not privileged to be able to listen to their conversation so speaking in a different language which the audience won't recognise shows they are speaking about something which can only be discussed privately.

The wide shot (WS) of the restaurant shows us that the restaurant currently doesn't have many customers which means that they're will be few witnesses if anything goes wrong. The wide shot also implies that they're no people that can help Michael in this situation since he hasn't got anyone to stop a life threatening situation.

The sound of the train created tension to the audience and shows us that Michael still feels isolated. When Michael asks to leave the bathroom to escape from his isolation the police officer goes to check him the other police officer mentions that he has already checked him and Michael can go the toilet freely, this implies that the other police officer doesn't see Michael as a treat to them.

Before Michael goes into the bathroom there is a close up (CS) on the police officers face and his eye twitches, this shows us that now the police officer could be expecting

While in the bathroom looking for the gun in the bathroom we still hear the sound of the pipes, the sound of pipes shows us wherever Michael is he is still going to feel trapped.

When Michael renters the room after being to the bathroom he sits down and there is a close up (CS) on his face, this close up (CS) shows us that Michael feels trapped because of the two police officers. We know that Michael doesn't want to be isolated in this close up, we know this because it shows it in his facial expression.
