Selected Film
The film that I have chosen to refer to in this project was "Fight Club"
The scene that I’ve chosen for this is the reveal of who Tyler Durden truly was.
This scene played a crucial role into making sense to the narrator who Tyler Durden was and how everything in the movie was actually done by the Narrator himself.
Techniques Used and What I Will Be Looking at
This was shot in a two shot Medium Shot of the narrator and the bartender. It then moves to a Close Up of both characters and eventually a slow Dolly into the narrator’s face.
With this I will try a Mid Close up dolly into the actor's face.
An upbeat music was then used to build up to the next scene which is the revelation of who Tyler Durden was.
In this scene the director used static high angle and low angle shots from medium to close ups.
I also believe that they had the lamps on to act a fill lighting to generally make the room brighter and light the characters well.
Methods of Applying the Techniques
To apply the techniques in where I’ll be exploring on how to do a reveal of a situation.
Lighting a room with lamps and LED.
Long shots, medium shots, close ups to build up the scene.
A suitable music to build up or end the scene.
Some of the experiment shots that I did
