My role as Director

For our film opening I decided to take the role of Director, so I started to research a few of my favourite directors and what specific techniques they use and try to include all of these skills into my own film. 

David Fincher 

David Fincher is an American music and film director who was born August 28th 1962. Fincher began making films at aged 8 and was welcomed into the film industry when he directed the famous Alien 3 oin 1992. Fincher was well known for creating dark and very stylish thriller films. The majority of his films would have a unique twist to his films. His first film recieved Oscar nominations for special effects, but was not recieved well by film critics.

After this Fincher went on to create the world wide blockbuster, Se7en which made $327,311,859. The film won one Oscar for best editing and was nominated for 18 other awards such as best screenplay and best director. The film ranks at #22 in IMDb's top 250 films. 
 
Fincher went on to create the screen adaption of Fight Club  about an insomniac office worker who opens up a club devoted to bare knuckle fighting for men. Featuring Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, and Brad Pitt, the film was a disappointment at the box office and received mixed reviews. This lead to its box office failure in the United States.
      Later on many critics and audiences later changed their opinions on the film, and it appeared on many 'best of the year' lists and soon developed a cult following and people still remember quotes from it such as "First rule of Fight Club, you do not talk about Fight Club".

Fincher then went on to create something a little different, which was the box office hit The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. A film following a character who ages backwards. The film is Finchers first PG-13 film. It received 13 nominations at the 81st Academy Awards,  It won three Academy Awards for Best Art Direction, Best Makeup, and Best Visual Effects. This film managed to make $333,932,083 at the box-office.
