in saving private Ryan the scene starts off with a close up of the metal barricades with the calm sea washing in between it. this makes the beach and the scene seem calm and peaceful which could be used as an oxymoron as the 'peaceful' beach will actually be the death of thousands of soldiers.
they put the title 'june 6, 1994' they put this in to tell the people this was the the date of the scene and when this happened in the second world war. this could relate to some people in the audience as the movie came out a wile back so some of the audience may remember the date very well.
the screen cuts to a medium shot of one boat with the sound of more violent waves. the camera zooms out and shows a fleet of ships filled with men. this could make the audience get on edge as there are so many soldiers so there will be a big battle up ahead.
a extreme close up was used at around 30 seconds in, it was of a soldiers' shaking hand.this will show the fear the men had and perhaps share with the audience. the camera scales up the solider and it appears to be the main character of the movie, showing that even the hero of the film can be scared and worried for his life.
