20Michael Bay style
saturated sunset, lens flares and heroic angles
A Saving Private Ryan-style look is a desaturated, high-contrast war-film grade with staccato motion and smoke.
26Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, in a bleach-bypass war-film look: heavily desaturated, high contrast, staccato motion from a fast shutter, smoke drifting across the rooftops, grim and visceral. A woman in a black leather jacket sprints across a city rooftop at dusk toward the edge, where a narrow gap separates it from the next building. Low wide shot, the camera tracking alongside her at running pace from the first second. 0–2s: she sprints toward the edge of the roof. 2–4s: she plants her foot on the low ledge and leaps. 4–6s: in slow motion she flies across the gap, the street far below, as a searchlight beam sweeps through the haze behind her. 6–8s: back at full speed, she lands on the next rooftop, rolls and comes up running. Throughout: the image stays heavily desaturated and high-contrast with staccato motion and drifting smoke, one continuous take.

"Staccato motion from a fast shutter" is the technical cue for the choppy war-footage feel. Smoke gives it depth.
