It focuses on differentiating audio and visual techniques, such as hand-held cameras, low-angle shots, and muffled sound, and understanding their effects on audience perceptions and emotional responses. Students are encouraged to name the techniques in their analyses to enhance the sophistication of their essays. The goal is a deeper comprehension of how these techniques contribute to the film's impact.

Learning Objectives • To understand how to identify technique • To explain how techniques work and the impact they have
What is a Technique • A technique is the name of the method used to create an effect; for instance in poetry an author might use simile, metaphor or personification to create an image; a writer might use characterisation to make the reader feel sympathy or hatred towards the character. • It is essential, in all essays, to name the technique before explaining the effect it has on the audience.
Saving Private Ryan • The techniques used in film are a little different from those presented in written texts. We are going to focus of audio and visual for now.
