Here's a link to Roger Ebert's viewer's companion to Citizen Kane that can work as a mini-model for you in figuring out what to write about for your behind-the-scenes journal. For example, the "Deep Focus" and "Optical Illusions" sections in Ebert's commentary pertain to photography, "Visible Ceilings," "Matte Drawings" and others to set design, "The Brothel Scene" to script writing, and so on. Much has been written about who deserves credit for the script, and the fallout for Welles because of the poor reception of the film. Why do I mention all this? Because your job for this assignment is to find similar nuggets of info for the film you watch that can help you understand and appreciate the film a bit more.
Don't forget to cite your source by saying something like, "According to Roger Ebert's Viewer's Companion to Citizen Kane," and make sure to link to any online sources you use. It's a good idea to use excerpts from these sources, too, and not just because they increase your word count. Oh, and turn in your page of notes on the film in class, too. Good luck!
