8. Orson Wells pioneered a huge array of visual techniques
in Citizen Kane that we now take for granted, most
notably:
1. Deep focus : using actors and objects at different
distances from the camera and keeping them all in focus,
a technique that was both technically difficult and
stylistically unpopular at the time CK was made
2. Long Takes : a long shot without cuts with the camera
moving slowly around a scene
3. Flashbacks, flash forwards, and non-linear storytelling
4. Complex narrative structure. 8

shark-hunting trend that dramatically
reduced nearly all shark species over the
following decades. In the waters of the
U.S. eastern seaboard, populations of
many species of sharks have dropped by
50% and some have fallen by as much as
90 %. 18

making it attractive to go catch sharks"
