Line 42: * [[Chiaroscuro]]: Like many tropes, the usage of Chiaroscuro in film was widely popularized by ''Citizen Kane'', although it was already common in [[German Expressionism\|German expressionist]] cinema. ** This ties into the film's use of "Deep Focus" (one of the techniques cinematographers rave about in the movie). The way they managed to bring foreground and background objects into focus in the same shot required the more distant objects to be extremely brightly lit, encouraging the heavy-shadow Chiaroscuro compositions. * [[Creator Backlash]]: Welles wasn't that big on the film. He preferred some of his later work, like his adaptation of Kafka's ''The Trial''. In a 1960 interview, he said, "I'm ashamed of Rosebud. I think it's a rather tawdry device. It's the thing I like least in ''Kane''. It's kind of a dollar-book Freudian gag, you know. It doesn't stand up very well." * [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Charles Foster Kane * [[Dead Hand Shot]]: At the beginning, with the snowglobe.
