a narrator gives the audience background detail and helps guide them through the story.
In Fight Club the narrator isnt always reliable, this makes the audience unsure about the truth and what is actually going on. This is to put the audience in the same position as the main character, and increases on the tension.

The presence of such patterns throughout the work provides additional depth for an audience. A good example is in the film Gladiator (Ridley Scott 2000)

Sound perspective refers to the apparent distance of a sound source, evidenced by its volume, timbre, and pitch. This type of editing is most common in how the audience hears film characters’ speech. Actors in these situations are “miked” so that the volume of their voices remains constant and audible to the audience.
