Evaluation- Question 1

Are opening sequence is typical of any other film of the war genre. Like most films of the war genre are main character is on the Allies side fighting against the Germans. And like most war films the Germans are shown to be the bad guys in are opening sequence. Typical to most war films we have young characters so not only is it realistic but it has a bigger effect on the audience if one of them dies. Similar to most war films and research into the war are film is set it a forest and field area because like most other war films we want it realistic to how it was in real life. Are storyline involves one soldier giving a housewife a letter telling her that her son is missing in action but then you see her son is alive and finds another soldier that dies. We think this created a storyline right from the beggining and got straight into some action as well, this is typical of a war genre to have simple story line that are easy to follow and having alot of action being key to a good war film but was realistic to events that would of happened in a war. Are probes like most other war films are realistic to what was used in real life which we found out through are reaseacrh into the war and the war genre. For example we used clothing that soldiers and housewifes would have used along with realistic guns and other smaller probes like a missing in action letter. We used music throughout are piece to create the atomsphere we wanted wether it was sad or tension building which is typical of any other war film. All these what we did was similar to other war films like saving private ryan, A Bridge to Far etc.
