Genre Research Fury

 Fury is about a Sherman tank squad pushing through the French countryside in WW2. This movie was one of my all-time favorites with the message and the effects made it amazing. The hard to watch moments and the gritty aspect of war makes it an interesting movie.

Some of the camera angles and movements used were wide shots to get the whole scene in a far wide view, long shots to get the main characters and enemy in shot, point of view/over the shoulder shots to get the perspective of the driver and the commander in the battle, eve level shots to see the actor's emotions during the action, and tracking shots to follow the tanks advancing to the enemy. The costumes worn were from the time period and are supplemented by the makeup worn to show wounds or dirt. The lighting is mostly dark to show a gritty sad tale as the movie's progressives. The props including real tanks and weapons all to the time period.

The sounds used were ambient sound of a warzone in the distance to armies marching on the road, dialogue set the tone for the movie along with the soundtrack amplifying the atmosphere. The Diegetic sound from the movie like the cannon fire and tank treads made the audience feel more immersed. The editing techniques used were cutaways/jump cuts to show what is happening at a different time to what is happening in that exact scene. Action match to cut from the action to more action and eyeline matches showing the characters face and the subject they're looking at.

Most of the aspects of the movie I enjoyed like the long shots showing the enemy and the protagonists fight simultaneously and the point of view shots making the audience feel like they're in the battle. Also, the diegetic sound making each scene sound realistic and adding more immersion. On the contrary the lack of aerial shots was a mis opportunity, and I did not like the switching of protagonists, and I wish they stuck to one.
