Fight Club Shot analysis


Here's the link

The script is actually quite different from the final version which I think is interesting, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to see how a script turns into a film and how what you read on a page is completely transformed when it's put together on screen.

Please read the script first and then watch the video.
then please go through the screen shots and try to see the progression that is happening between characters and what they are saying. How big is a character in the frame and how does that correlate to their position of power in the situation their in? When is a character in a shot by themselves and when are they in a shot with another person? What does that tell the audience. How does that make us feel about the characters relationship within their interaction?
try to notice when there is a single and an over the shoulder.
