Language:
The title tell the audience that this is a movie poster. However many people might not know that this is a movie poster as there is no release date. The poster includes the production name (AN ALBERT S. RUDDY PRODUCTION). It also includes the staring actors e.g. Marlon Brando. Francis Ford Coppola directed the movie. He has also done films like, 'Apocalypse Now' 1979 and 'Twixt' 2011. Francis Ford Coppola has said in an interview, 'That's why i ended my career; I decided i didn't want to make what you call "Factory Movies anymore' The last movie he directed was 'Twixt'.
The editors chose the font on the poster because it gives it a mafia/gangster look to it. The central image colour and lighting used tells the audience that this is mysterious. This is a stereotypical look on a 1970s gang member. The Godfather had two tag lines, 'An offer you can't refuse' and 'The Godfather is now a movie' IMDb said this.
Institution:
The production company behind this film is Alfran Productions. The budget for this film was $6,000,000 (estimated). On the opening weekend in USA (2 May 1997). Box office made $245.1 million. The film grossed in the five NY theaters made $454,000. The first week it grossed it made $8 million, second week it grossed $6 million and the third week it grossed $5 million. The estimated worldwide gross is $150 million. 132 million people had seen the film by January 1975.
Audience:
The target audience is for those who are eighteen year old and over. The language and content used in this movie, i don't believe this is appropriate for children below this age. It is also for people who don't mind watching violence. It an also go for those that have a strong sense of loyalty to friends and family. Another group that can appeal to are those people that are Marlow Brando fans and major supporters.
Representation:
The poster features the image of a powerful and rich man. The poster is very mysterious. This gives us a eerie feeling because we dont know whats its about. The poster screams "Crime" because in the 1970s Joseph Anthony "Joe" Colombo (Boss of the Colombo crime family) began bringing unwanted national attention to the mob and those associated with it. This gave the people in 1973 a idea on what the film is about. The suit and cat he is wearing in the poster was and still is a very sterotypical mob artist.
