Diegetic gaze

Image result for saving private ryan close ups

“Saving Private Ryan” (Steven Spielberg,1998) uses diegetic gaze well because it helps the audience to focus on the characters in the closeup rather than the background. The background has been blurred out and therefore one can only focus on the actor in the foreground. Due to this, the audience can really feel the emotion and the audience gets a very good idea of what is actually happening to the character specifically rather than just seeing the development of the narrative.
