Film Studies Daily Log

Friday, November 21

Mr. Potratz handed out printouts of the first four pages of the filmsite.org discussion of Citizen Kane and students offered examples of various items on Tim Dirks's list of the most significant characteristics of the film, from flashback narration to imaginative transitions to deep-focus compositions. At he end of the class we re-viewed the two different depictions of Susan's operatic debut, which we will discuss on Tuesday, after the Quiz over the handout.
