Saving Private Ryan was
groundbreaking for its sound. Using 5:1 it incorporates the audience into the
scene. For example if you have a surround sound system the sound can make it
sound like the bullets are wizzing past your ears. Making the film a new experience
just through the use of sound.
The mass percentage of the sounds in this
scene would have been man made, recoded in a foley studio. The sound of the
waves hitting the ground are also not recorded on set. Since the crashing sound
appears more crashing and violent than the image of the waves. Done to create
an atmosphere, and incorporate how the soldiers were feeling, how it may have
sounded to them. When the battle breaks out the soldiers come in and out of the
water, the sound goes muffled when they are under. So the audience is
experiencing the scene by what the soldiers hear, by doing this, it helps the
audience understand the terror soldiers faced.
