Saving private ryan

Establishing shot on Omaha beach from a low angle making the tank traps appear massive and scenes continue to introduce what is happening. Extreme close up of characters hands shows that he is nervous and supports the idea that they are soldiers going into a battle. Camera moves out form the main character to introduce the audience to the men ahead of him on the landing craft this adds humanity to each character and has the audience relate. Audience are shown close ups of the men showing them as praying and scared. Throughout the scene the pace of the shots is slow as the soldiers are waiting for the landing and adding a slight air of surprise as people the audience has just been introduced to are gunned down.The costumes in the scene only really serve to show the audience that the characters are World War 2 US soldiers. Lighting in the scene is initially bright and sunny but, as the soldiers get closer to the landing and to demise, the lighting gets darker and more miserable predicting how the scene will end. Props Just show the audience the setting of the film.
