Technical Analysis - “Band of Brothers” By David Frankel and Mikeal Salomon

This is a scene from the 2001 Television series Band of Brothers. In this scene Lt Winters leads a charge on the Germans. In the first shot there is a long shot where you can see the unit of soldiers in ditch in a field. This shot shows how in the open they are and the bravery of the soldiers. In the next shot there is a close up of the soldiers face talking to each other giving instructions, this shows that they are organized and prepared.

The next shot cuts to a canister of red smoke in the middle of the field. The colour red can resemble fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power and determination.
