In Citizen Cane, a use a sound is used. Random abrupt noises pop out almost everywhere when Welles is transitioning, he uses loud nondiegetic noises as his transitions most of the time sometimes they are diegetic. This comes from the new use of sound in movies, it was a new thing to people so he was just using his new resources. Some examples of this are when he changes from a quiet scene to a loud scene where it is raining and a huge bright picture of a woman comes up, another example is when a random bird pops out of no-where. Welles is choosing a manipulating sounds to make the movie more interesting and more candy for the ears.

good review, i agree sound played a big role in citizen kane.
I liked your review of the sound used in Citizen Kane! It was helpful to have examples and know why he decided to use some of his sound choices.
You have a good review, and I think the same too, because most of the time when I am watching the movie, when the sound is getting softer a loud sound come out from no where waking the class up.
