Video project

---> Make a Sweded of Citizen Kane.

A sweded : The process is called sweding, upon completion the film has been sweded.

It comes from the Michel Gondry film Be kind Rewind when the characters must re-record classic movies to replace broken VHS tapes. The process is described in the film as “re-making something from scratch using whatever you can get your hands on.”

This was our second group project and i cannot really explain this experience because it turned out that we had some problems with the camera but the great thing about this project is that i discovered a brilliant film : Citizen Kane by Orson Welles.

Orson Welles, was an American filmmaker, actor, theatre director, screenwriter, and producer, who worked extensively in film, theatre, television and radio. Noted for his innovative dramatic productions as well as his distinctive voice and personality, Welles is widely acknowledged as one of the most accomplished dramatic artists of the twentieth century. 


He made Citizen Kane in 1941, it was his first feature film, in which he starred in the iconic role of Charles Foster Kane. It is often considered the greatest film ever made because of his innovative cinematography, music and narrative structure, more particulary his distinctive directorial style featured layered, nonlinear narrative forms, innovative uses of lighting and chiaroscuro, unique camera angles, sound techniques borrowed from radio, deep focuse shots, and long takes.
