We continued briefly our discussion of the musical score of Citizen Kane and of the significance of sound editing more generally.

Students received an assignment for the break:

On Tuesday, January 5, you are to turn in a typed assignment which has two parts: the first involves cutting and pasting, while the second requires writing of your own.

Part 1: After consulting several websites from the Links page of the class website copy the five or six critical comments or passages which you find most interesting and insightful.

Part 2: In response to those passages, write a 400-word piece of your own describing, analysing and evaluating the film, its techniques, impact and significance.
