Saving Private Ryan

The film I have chosen to analyze it titled “Saving Private Ryan”. This film was ……. My opinion of this film is that it was a complete masterpiece, and one of the most outstanding war movies I have ever seen.

Color served as a major aspect in this film. Colors have an impact on how people feel. Dark colors were mostly used in this specific clip to express to the viewer the sadness of how some of the soldiers felt. In this film, color was very symbolic. Example of shots displayed in this film were extreme long shot-taken from a faraway distance, full shot- shows the entire body of the character, and medium shot-only shows the character from the waist
