Ironic Devices In The Film: The New Platoon

The scene begins with a mid-shot of multiple trucks and men running in a very dull lighting. The dust surrounding the troops makes the scene look more depressing with the franticotions of the troops going about their daily duties. The troops are moving very hectic in-between the viewer and a slow moving plane, showing that even amidst the possibility of being ran over by a plane they keep doing the job that needs to be done. As the plane turns it becomes the main focus with a wide shot of the front of the plane. *Displaying that the plane is foreshadowing that the new platoon of men will be the main focus of the film. Once the plane was turned the word Platoon all capitalized super imposed in the foreground showing the viewer that the new platoon
of troops have arrived. As the troops are moving franticly in front of the slow moving plane still they persevere in completing their missions of the day.
