A classic!

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2019)

Citizen Kane, directed by Orson Welles is a classic of its time. Starting at the "end" rather than sequential order, Welles uses clever editing and constrats of hero and villain, giving the movie a unique touch. One thing about this film is its increased used of noticeable mise-en-scene, and its use of sequenced shots. The cinematography of this film was much more advanced than others of its time. The lighting of this film also made it as successful as it became. The lighting was deliberately placed to emphasize certain characters and setting. The camera was also placed at a low angel which gave the film a different feel than most. Overall, the film itself was pretty straightforward, but the lighting and cinematography gave the film the added aspect to make it worth seeing.
