New faster lenses that could capture more light allowed director, Orson Welles, with the assistance of cinematographer Greg Toland, to experiment. Welles could take the camera inside and capture depth of field shots and three plane staging on a sound stage in a way never before possible. Higher ASAs, or faster film speeds, such as Super X, 100 ASA and Super XX, 200 ASA further facilitated.<\/p>\n One of the most famous scenes in <\/span>Citizen Kane<\/em> <\/span>is the depth of filed shot that features Citizen Kane as a young boy. Find it on YouTube by searching for “Citizen Kane snowball”<\/p>\n \n YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HAHaRDlUrLw<\/p>\n Prompt: Explain how director Orson Welles, with the assistance of cinematographer Greg Toland, exploited the increased depth of field his lenses and film stock to tell the story.<\/strong> <\/span>Points 2<\/strong><\/p>\n Tip: Keep your eye on the father and think what depth of field enabled.<\/p>\n Tip #2: Make sure you know exactly what depth of field is.

See the two parts (A) and B) to the prompt below:<\/p>\n (What you are looking for is change. The main character might be lit brightly and then something happens and we see the character now shaded, for example. The reverse, of course, could also be given as an example. A character may go from hopeless to hopeful and lighting is used to reflect that change.) <\/p>\n A) Describe briefly the scene you are referencing and the name of the character who will experience a change of fortune<\/strong>. <\/span>Points 1<\/strong><\/p>\n B) Briefly describe how the lighting messaged the change of fortune for this specific character in this specific scene.
