Citezen Kane's Mis-en-scene

Citezen Kane had many revolutionaryu characteristics to the way it was filmed. These different traits have thus been formed amongst movies and are used widespread in all major releases. The most apparent, and in my opinion best utilized, technique is Orson Welles use of Mis-en-scene. His use of low-key lighting helped establish when Kane was in charge, dominating over his communicators when he was bright and they were lower, and how he was despairing in the beginning at his death. I think this really helped improve how we viewed Kane and helped bring this important aspects to movies of the future.
