Inspirational professional- David Fincher

The imagery in a Fincher film is grounded in realism, but it’s a dark, stylized realism. This is most notable in the director’s use of colours. Fincher is famous for his use of low-key lighting and heavy use of shadows. This combination of lighting and shadows works together nicely with his use of restricted narration. The darkness of the lighting and the cloak provided by the shadows help create the surprise that is achieved through restricted narration. Fincher focuses on the darker side of the world which carry deep themes and messages.

‘Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything’s okay. I don’t make those kinds of movies.’-David Fincher
