Citizen Kane E.C.

Ok, I think I forgot to email this one so here it is.

First, watch the movie Citizen Kane....

Then, write up why the movie is considered one of the best films ever made according to the experts (and if you agree).

Be sure to back your points up with examples from the movie. Don't just say, "it is considered the best because of the cinematography." Give me examples from the film that show why the cinematography was so great.

You might want to watch it with the commentary by Roger Ebert (but be sure to cite it if you reference it).

Citing sources ( "According Cinematography Today magazine, etc etc," ) will be important. You can cite a website but it must be credible. Books, magazine, film history texts, printed sources will be best. You can earn up to 10 points. (20 percentage points on a test!)

I'd say 3 pages or 800-1100 words is a good length. It just depends how thorough you are. The more detail and information you give me, the more points you'll be looking at (and naturally, the longer it will be).

The movie is at the library, too. If you want to borrow it from me for a couple days that is an option, too.

If you have any questions, let me know!

Due the last class before Thanksgiving break (Nov. 25).
