The carringer articles on Citizen Cane were very informative and interesting. I agree with Natalie in the fact that we watch movies but never really read in detail about the making, budgeting and the problem solving that occurs behind the scenes. One interesting part was the part that the film was “ forced- developed” in the laboratory and was left in chemicals for longer to increase the lighting contrast. Also, learning about the cinematography specifically in Citizen Cane was very interesting. Reading in detail about the lighting contrast, camera angles, set ups, visual devices and depth of field and how they related to the film were very informative.
Another part of the article that was fascinating to me were all the sketches that were necessary in making the film. This combined with the evolution of the set, showing the audience how the set and certain details were critical to the film as a whole.
This article made clear the endless work and detail that goes into the production of film.
