What techniques are mainly used in Schindler's List?

The expression of black and white tones in Schindler's List and the sharp contrast with color tones constitute the double meanings of death and hope in the film. Spielberg used a symbolic little effect as a foil, that is, the little girl in red. Every time Schindler looked at her, he strengthened his belief. She symbolizes innocent and fragile life, and also symbolizes the courage and strength to overcome evil, and it is also the only color in the film.

In terms of shooting effect, zanussi Nikolaus Stein von Kamienski, the film's photography director, has mastered the picture texture of black and white photography, which has a strong flavor in heaviness, especially when shooting poverty-stricken areas in Poland, the low walls, bricks and humid atmosphere restore the true flavor of the times. The little girl in red has become a classic because its profound connotation and artistic value far exceed that of ordinary film works. From the beginning of the film to the Nazi surrender, black and white photography was used to enhance the sense of reality and symbolize the dark ages of the Jews. Later, when the Nazis surrendered and the Jews walked out of the concentration camp, bright colors suddenly appeared on the screen, which made the audience feel that they had walked from darkness to sunshine and could appreciate the cheerful mood of the people in the play to lift the death threat.
