Citizen Kane Mini "Review"

After watching Citizen Kane I noticed a few things with the techniques the editors used. The first ten minutes of the film with the initial build up had a lot of crass fading. I noticed that this happened throughout the movie to change an exaggerated time or setting. I also remember seeing some swipe transitions which seemed a little unsettling (to me) but some how appropriate for the moods and tones the movie was trying to set. There were a few times I didn't notice transitions to cuts because of how smooth they were. However I did realize that every transition between cuts was on an action. Also did anyone else notice that in the scenes with cameras that whenever they took a photo there was a flash that caused a transition? I thought that was pretty cool and a unique way to move between shots without people noticing.
