Saving Private Ryan Shooting technique

2021-10-13 18:32
In order to increase the sense of reality, Spielberg used almost documentary shooting techniques to shoot the first 25 minutes of the film's landing scene. Before shooting, I didn't think about the storyline at all, but used handheld cameras to track the landing soldiers for close shots most of the time. In order to be faithful to the whole story, and to truly reflect the time the story took place, Spielberg collaborated again with the photographer Janusz Kaminski of Schindler's List. Januzz Kaminski specializes the film negatives to lighten the colors to achieve the effect in the film. Another special photography technique in the film is the use of a 90-degree or 45-degree shutter to shoot this landing scene, shooting the thrilling scenes of the actors' uninterrupted movement and bullets flying across.

Saving Private Ryan quotes

  • Captain Miller: Well when I think of home, I... I think of something specific. I think of my, my hammock in the backyard or my wife pruning the rosebushes in a pair of my old work gloves.

    Private Ryan: This, this one night, two of my brothers came and woke me up in the middle of the night. And they said they had a surprise for me. So they took me to the barn up in the loft and there was my oldest brother, Dan, with Alice, Alice Jardine. I mean, picture a girl who just took a nosedive from the ugly tree and hit every branch coming down. And... and Dan's got his shirt off and he's working on this bra and he's tryin to get it off and all of a sudden Shawn just screams out, "Danny you're a young man, don't do it!" And so Alice Jardine hears this and she screams and she jumps up and she tries to get running out of the barn but she's still got this shirt over her head. She goes running right into the wall and knocks herself out. So now Danny's just so mad at us. He, he starts coming after us, but... but at the same time Alice is over there unconscious. He's gotta wa... , wake her up. So he grabs her by a leg and he's drag, dragging her. At the same time he picks up a shovel. And he's going after Shawn, and Shawn's saying, "What are you trying to hit me for? I just did you a favor!" And so this makes Dan more angry. He tries to swing this thing, he looses the shovel, goes outta his grasp and hits a kerosene lantern; the thing explodes, the whole barn almost goes up because of this thing. That was it. That was the last, that was, Dan went off to basic the next day. That was the last night the four of us were together. That was two years ago. Tell me about your wife and those rosebushes?

    Captain Miller: No, no that one I save just for me.

  • Captain Miller: It's like finding a needle in a stack of needles.
