3. FAMOUS QUOTE
People will say, "There are a million ways to
shoot a scene", but I don't think so. I think
there're two, maybe. And the other one is wrong.

4. OPENINGS!
He likes to Frequently start his movies with creative title sequences
which express the theme of the movie. He believes that the title
sequence is the most important part of the movie as it is the start
therefore the hook.
Title sequence for ‘girl with the
dragon tattoo’
Title sequence for ‘Fight Club’

5. SHOT STYLE
Fincher likes to use wide shots and low angled shots to portray the
authority of the place or person. A few low angle and wide shots
from a selection of his films.

6. WHY DOES HE APPEAL?
I like David Finchers movies because of the fact he elaborates the
opening title sequence to establish the common theme of a film. He
has made some of the top films that have ever hit the box office.
Seven is one of the best films I have ever seen. The ideas
conceived by his films are always different. One minute he makes a
film about a serial killer to a film about fighting. However all of his
films have the common theme of danger all of the top hits have been
to do with the dark underworld of the modern society. Some people
may say he is too extravagant but I believe his films are made to
shock the target audience into the fear of the real world.
