David Fincher is known for directing dark, violent films with unexpected narrative twists. His movies often feature white, wealthy male protagonists struggling with anger or unhappiness. Fincher shoots his films with low-key lighting, wide angles, and stationary shots with an unfocused background. He directs actors to deeply inhabit complex, emotionally demanding roles. Fincher also employs fluid tracking shots to smoothly trace scenes at rapid speed, enhancing shock value.

2. Narratives
David Finchers narratives that he uses in some of his movies are that it is normally violent, dark and has a sense
of eeriness to the movie. For example in the movie The Game and Fight Club, they both start out focusing on a
certain characters side which then completely changes at the end of the movie.
Another narrative is that in these two movies, they both fight for there lives. This shows that in these movies,
David Fincher is trying to relate to his other best selling movies to come up with ideas to help him make more
and better movies.
Another point is in these movies, both main characters are white, single, have a lot of money and most of the
time angry or unhappy with what's happening.
David’s narratives are most likely not all the same but some may be in some areas of his work as he needs to
link the work together.

3. Characters
The characters in David Finchers movies are exactly how he wants them to be. They are driven to play the role
as well as they can and to try and get inside there mind-set that they are a certain character and have to play
by what the character would do.
For example in fight club, Brad Pitt has to play the role as Tyler Durden which means he has to get all rowdy as
he's in a violent fighting movie which he does not normally play the role of. He plays as a bad man who is in a
fight club and no one messes with him.
Another example is in Se7en(Seven), Morgan Freeman plays a detective who will go to nothing until he finds a
killer however in other movies that he has played in, his acting changes dramatically as he is a good enough
actor to go from one personality to another.

4. Setting
In David Finchers movies, there are always similarities that go from movie and movie. The first similarities is
that his films often have low-key lighting with green or blue tinted colour. This makes the movies different from
any others as it has its own certain trademark to it.
His films normally have wide angle shots and low angle shots as well. I think that this makes the film different
to watch as you don’t know what shot is going to be next and how they are going to play out the scene.
Sometimes there's some stationary shots with a unfocused background so you can get a better look of what's
happening in the movie at the point in time when they are doing the stationary shot.
What I believe is that in these movies they are all shot differently as it shows that his movies are different and
they are all shot in different places.

5. Music
David Fincher has directed many music videos including videos from artists, Madonna, Jay Z and
Justin Timberlake.
In comparison to Bad Girl(Madonna) and Suits and Tie(Justin Timberlake) there is a scene in both
videos where they are smoking and then throw the cigarette on the floor and also the video is
black and white which makes it very similar

6. Camerawork
David Finchers camerawork techniques consist of using the fluid tracking camera. This is a technique that
displays a smooth tracing shot no matter how fast the camera is going or the terrain it is shooting. In Fight Club
he uses the fluid tracking to go any where. At the start of the film, Fincher uses fluid tracking to show where
the characters are and what's happening to them. The fluid camera enables him to have the camera go out the
window, down the building, through the ground and to a shot of a van parked beneath them, filled to the top
with explosives. He uses this to give the audience more of a shock as it shows so much information going so
fast.
For example, here is what fluid tracking camera would look like in a film:
