6. Research:Film Openings - 9 Frames Title Sequence Analysis

FIGHT CLUB (FINCHER, 1999)


Observations through analysis:

  • In the opening of Fight Club through the use of mine en scene, specifically through the use of sound we can see already the genre of the film. 
  • The music in the opening of the film was loud and fast paced  which immediately links the film to action and adventure.
  • In the opening there are a total of 21 titles ranging from the actors to the costume designer.
  • In the opening they show what happens in a persons brain when their life is threatened. They do this through camera angles shots and movement with many extreme close ups.
  • However I do not feel they did this effectively.

Preliminary task evaluation: Pre-production -In the pre-production process as we did not have much time we did not write a storyboard or a script and just came up with an original concept (The Chase), w e also did not have any costumes or props that we could use. We had to make use of our space around school as we were not aloud off site to film and after walking around the whole school we decided the best place to use was the science block. Production During the production stage we used techniques such as match-on-action and shot reverse shot to create verisimilitude. Post production Finally in post production we imported everything on to the MacBooks and used final cut pro to edit our film. We pieced together the scenes as we wanted using continuity editing. We then added sound effects, music and credits. What went well? We included a shot reverse shot successfully. We had a finished film. We used Match-on-action successfully.  Even better if?
