Sicilian Mafia: The Origin

If you read that entry about me you already know I want to pursue a career in Directing. Well I finished my short film for Art class. It’s about the Origins of the Mafia. Not the Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, John Gotti, And The Godfather/GoodFellas we know. I'm talking about way back before it even had one in the U.S. I'm talking about the 1800's Mafia. First I started it off in a Black Screen. Then I played "The Godfather" theme song then you see an overview of New York City. The camera slowly gets closer and closer and then I do small voice over. "Today La Cosa Notra is thought of as greed, money and murder. But most people don’t know the half of it. The Mafia as it is called nowadays started in Sicily in the 1800's {showing a picture of Sicilian hood playing in a field}. Then I explain how it started and key figures during the time. I end it off with showing how The Mafia is popular in Pop Culture. I show pictures of The Godfather, GoodFellas, people imitating them and dressing like them and I end it off with a group of Mob bosses sitting at a big table smoking cigarettes and talking {although you cant hear them talking}.
