The Movie Citizen Kane‚ considered by many to be one of the greatest movies of all time‚ is one of those movies that tells its story visually just as much as it tells us verbally.

In Citizen Kane‚ Welles once in a while foregoes altering for the long take; on the other hand‚ he additionally embraces altering procedures from Hollywood‚ such as the shot-reverse shot technique.
