Within the presentation I created, I talked about the Auteur David Fincher. My presentation listed films and projects he produced, as well as side by side comparisons of several films which showed lighting and camera angles which are commonly seen within his films. Additionally, I also featured a list of the actors used in order to explain that there is no common link between his actors and characters like there is with other auteur's, for example, Johnny Depp and Tim Burton. Despite this, it was apparent that the style that Fincher uses is extremely distinctive. This is evident especially in projects that it wouldn't be expected. For example, Madonna's 'Express yourself' music video includes a lot of common features of Fincher's first film Alien. Blue and yellow lighting is a commonality, as well as smoke and fragmentation.
My observer discussed the fact that he learnt that Fincher enjoys making people feel uncomfortable after being showed the quote :
" You have a responsibility for the way you make an audience feel, and I want to make them feel uncomfortable"
overall, I would say that my presentation was a success and was sufficiently detailed, however if I was to improve I would research into his films more and add extra information based on the way he works when producing films and how other people feel about working with him.
