Wednesday, May 11

We continued our analysis of elements of filmcraft in Citizen Kane, moving on today to cinematography and lighting. We re-viewed six minutes of Visions of Light which discuss the style of Greg Toland, Kane's cinematographer, then discussed the thematic uses of the film's intense dynamic contrasts and the different effects Toland achieves with the film's many extreme low-angle shots.

HW due Friday, May 20
