This clip is from near the beginning of the film. The costumes actors Tom hanks and the others are wearing are that of US GI's during WW2, this makes the audience feel like they are actually going back through time as they don't like modern soldiers, it would also make them feel, like this film is set during WW2 like the introduction before would have shown, also the green uniforms are easier to distinguish from the German soldiers who appear to be wearing more grey uniforms, this makes it easier to know who the antagonists are. The ocean behind him has been turned red, this gives the audience a feeling of the losses inflicted already and gives them an idea on how bloody this film is likely to be, it would also be a feature of war/action films to have blood in the film to show that people have been killed. The debris around Tom Hanks includes bits of soldier, such as arms and helmets, this would shock an audience and adds distress to the film as faint-hearted people might find the sight of this very upsetting, but the director probably wanted this so that it would stun the audience to make them think about the loss of all those men. The sound used near the start implies that the captain has trouble hearing, this impacts the audience as they have little audio to listen too and it makes them concentrate more on what is going on visually, it also adds the feeling like they are the captain on the beach as they are experiencing what he felt, this makes the story more personal and immerse for an audience watching. The sound of gunfire and explosions in the background adds to the realistic sense that this is a battlefield, and the sound of bullets zipping by would fill an audience with adrenaline because they don't know where the next soldier will die. The camera in film is using the shaky cam effect, this would be udes to show the brutality and intensity of the battle scene, it also immerses the audience further into the reality of the film making them feel more for the character, they also use a combination of long shots, close ups and medium shots in the sequence to help show the intensity of the fighting and to help show the range of action going on in the beach, it also helps show the emotions of injured and dying soldiers as they lay on the beach. They also use camera shots taken from Tom Hank's point of view which allows the audience to see what he is seeing and also adds to the immersive nature of the film, they also use a panning shot as they run up the beach this helps to show the scale of the fighting and to give the audience an idea of the distance they travel, it allows them to experience more of the action taking place on the beach. The pace of editing is relatively slow during the deaf ear section, this makes it look like the scene is in slow motion and we get to see the devastation for longer, however as the scene goes on the pace of editing speeds up as Hanks recovers, this makes it a convention of war/action films as they would usually have a fast pace of editing during an action sequence to make the scene appear more chaotic then it might be if the pace was slower.
