CK heeft zijn status niet alleen door het gebruik van deep focus he, maar ook andere formele en narratieve technieken. Over wie nu de 'eerste' was:
Much has been made of Citizen Kane's deep focus photography. And rightly so, for it provides a striking look to the entire picture that distinguishes it from any film that had come before. But this was not the first usage of the technique. Some examples exist in silent films including D.W. Griffith's Musketeers of Pig Alley (1912). When film stocks improved in the 1930s, the possibilities became greater. Jean Renoir experimented with several deep-focus shots in his films including La Règle du Jeu (1939). By that time, cinematographer Gregg Toland had been experimenting with deep focus or what he referred to as "pan-focus," a technique that allowed the camera to photograph objects as close as a foot or so and others up to several hundred feet with equal clarity together, much as the human eye is capable of doing. Some examples of his efforts prior to Citizen Kane can be seen in John Ford's The Long Voyage Home (1940). In Welles, Toland found a like-minded film-maker and the two worked hand-in-hand in developing the camera angles, lighting, and photographic technique. There was extensive pre-production planning and testing of such aspects, a novelty in itself in Hollywood where cinematographers often found themselves assigned to a film only a day or so before shooting began. It is no accident that Toland's credit for cinematography on Citizen Kane is as large as that of Welles for its production and direction.
