1) “Citizen Kane” is one of the most
influential films ever made. Discuss
this statement.
2) What had Orson Welles done in his first 23
years of life to warrant the Hollywood Film Industry offering complete creative
control to a first time filmmaker?
3) Pick an extended scene or sequence from
“Citizen Kane” and discuss the storytelling technique by analyzing any
combination of its component parts (direction, writing, performance, cinematography,
production design, art direction, editing, sound, score, etc.).
EXTRA CREDIT:
Watch Welles’s “Touch of Evil” and write an analysis.
NOTE: The movie career of Orson Welles was marked
by a troubled relationship with mainstream Hollywood. Aspects of this could be discussed in
question #2 and the Extra Credit proposition.
