Technical codes Saving Private Ryan Captin Millar Death scene

Saving Private Ryan, Captin Millar's Death Scene 

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdB_7TYi__M )



The short ending scene of Saving Private Ryan starts with a very close-up shot with captain Millar,  the effect of this is to make the audience feel involved with the action and event that is happening in the scene, and also to add tension because the audience can focus on the characters expressions, which in this scene is worried and scared since the Germans have almost killed every soldier in this grope.

In this scene they also use a zoom technical effect which goes in to a extremely close up shot, witch is also interupted with a enimy tank slowly moving falward, with shots of captin millar shoting at the tank, the effect of this is that the audence can see that the shooting the tank is hopeless and is not workign, howeve and the reppetitive techneque of cutting from the zoom of captin millar and to the shot of the tank is to add a sence of fustration with the audence becuse it is getting closer and no damage is being done, however, in the sence the fustration is relieved when the tank finaly explodes due to the american air support, and this is shown with a medium close up of captin miller and his expretion shown on his face of confution and relefe. 

The scene is then cut to a establishin shot witch shows the planes causing destruction to the small french town, and also showes the german troops retreting. The scene then goes to a charecter called James ryan and this is a long shot far away to add a sence of confution and a sence of reality hitting the charecter and this shows the audence how the soldigers would have felt from going from event where they were fighting for there lifes to an event that they are safe. Saving private Ryan uses alot of expretion in the films, this is to add a sence of realisim to the audence, and alowes the audence to connect with how the soldgers were feeling and this is shown with the long shot of Private james ryan and the realisation that they are not going to be killed by German troops. The color of the scene is filmed in a very faint/faded coulor, this is to add a sence of age, and to make it so that it is not vey mordern and has a snece of being old.  All of the charecters are wearing a costume of miltariy unoforms, German of US army uniforms, this is to put a date on between the years in 1939-1945, and this is to also signify that this is a war film. Near the end of this scene ther is a short scene of a US soldiger in a ball slowly rising, this is to show that the man is in destress and adds to the sence of fear and is shown by his guesture

At the beging of this scene ther is a dveice that was ment to be used to cause the bridge to be blown appart, this is signified as the last resort and should be blown to try to stop the germans getting over the bridge and pusshing the us troops further back, this is an iconography object becuse it is a device that has to be used however the device was to far away for Captin Millar to get to and is shown with the use of facial expretion.

In saving private ryan there are sound effects like explotions and the sounds of engins of planes, this is to add to the experience for the audence. There is also dialoge that adds to the peice becuse it alowes the reader to realise the bond/brotherly hood that the soldgers had, and this is shown in the final scene where Private Reiben one of the soldigers who gave the impretion of not caring about other soldgers in his squadren, was shown to be verry caring, and cared for his Captin, Captin Millar. There is the use of music in the final scene witch adds a sence of victory and releve the music that is being played is of a trumpet being blown gently.

These are some of the techniques that are used in the film Saving Private Ryan.
