This is a critical Scene Analysis collage that visually dismantles the core scenes of the film American Sniper (2014). I analyzed how PTSD, the theme of the film, is not just narrative information, but formal devices such as color (blue tone/light contrast), camera angle, sharp transition, and sound overlap (daily sound → gunshots, helicopters, and names) convey it as a "sensory experience."
The purpose of this analysis is to derive differentiation points for the work from the perspective of distribution and marketing. In other words, the core message is that this film provides the audience with not only the "war action" but also the experience of war (trauma) that lasts even after returning, and based on this, the possibility of expanding the audience segment (war movie audience → psychological drama/social issue audience) is presented. As a result, this work shows the planning ability to connect the emotional strengths of the work in the direction of campaign message, trailer strategy, and key visual through mise-en-scene and sound analysis of a scene.
