ESSAY ON: Cinematography/Citizen Kane

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page essay that discusses the use of cinematography in Citizen Kane. A major component to the reputation of Orson Welles' cinematic masterpiece Citizen Kane (1941) as a historically pivotal film is its use of deep focus cinematography. Through its innovative use of cinematography, Welles succeeded at simultaneously telling the story of Charles Foster Kane, while also inviting the audience to interpret the film (Anderson). The characteristics of the cinematic look of the film lend it ambiguity and ambivalence that turn what could have been an ordinary power story into a humanistic mystery. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
