The document discusses film style and its analysis. It explains that a film's style is created through the interaction of various film techniques and the director's choices. A style can reflect a single filmmaker's tendencies or be a group style. When analyzing a film's style, one should examine the overall narrative form, identify the main techniques used, trace patterns in the techniques, and propose the functions of the techniques and patterns in shaping the viewing experience. The document uses Citizen Kane to illustrate these points, noting various techniques like deep focus cinematography that emphasize contrasts in Kane's life.
