• Watch the following scene from ‘Citizen Kane,’ which is regarded as one of the best films ever made, and answer the following questions. 
• Not knowing the whole plot, how do you feel the actors are portraying their characters? 

What do you think of the angle of the camera and why it is positioned that way? 

Why do you think this would be noted as the greatest film ever made, and why would this be regarded as the best scene in the film? 

One of the actors is out of frame for some time during the scene, is there any importance to this? Why?
