When you talk about Citizen Kane
you have to mention the technicality of the film, the use of the camera angles
or the camera focus can give you a perspective of the scene that you wouldn’t
get if it wouldn’t have been that camera angle.
An example of this is when Mr Kane is in front of his portrait while he
is giving his intense speech. The use of
the low angle made it feel that he was larger than life and that he was the
most powerful person there. Without the
low angle the shot wouldn’t have given you the impression of how he felt about
himself and you could have interpreted the scene in a different way. Another scene where our influence was swayed
was where Susan overdosed on medicine and in the scene the medicine bottle and
Mr Kane were in focus while Susan was not, this showed that the medicine bottle
and mr Kane was important while Susan was not important this allowed us to
understand how Mr Kane felt about the situation because it showed that he
didn’t care about how she was sick he only cared about how she would impact him
in the press. Without These camera angles and camera focuses the viewers can interpret scenes in a lot of different ways but with these camera angles the director can influence your interpretation.
