The reading on Citizen Kane was very interesting. I feel like I got a lot out of it as far as understanding all the time, and how things worked. The film engendered controversy (and efforts at suppression in early 1941 and efforts at suppression in early 1941 through intimidation, blackmail, newspaper smears, discrediting and FBI investigations) before it premiered in New York City. They went out of the box, and didn't care what anyone thought. They used a lot of dramatic lighting, and also the way they also used the camera was very different at that time. Citizen Kane also came around the same time as around the 1930's there was a lot of break through as far as lighting (boom mic), lamps, and also audio has a major break through also. I believe that Citizen Kane really started a way for different shooting, and really started a whole knew thought of how thing could be shot.
