Two short documentaries on the use of sound in 'Saving Private Ryan'

Following on from last weeks lecture on the use of sound in film, here are two short documentaries regarding Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan. Both documentaries have French subtitles, so you can learn more about he film and learn a new language at the same time!

The first concerns the musical score, composed by frequent Spielberg collaborator, John Williams.

The second deals with the use of sound design in the film, introduced by Gary Rydstrom, with particular focus on the opening beach sequence and the closing sequence in the besieged village.

Hopefully these two documentaries will help those choosing to do the film for their sequence analysis, but also as a general expansion of your film knowledge.
