Fight Club
In these opening credits it starts off with a sort of futuristic feel to it which then shows us that it is really someone’s head we are be being taken through and with the accompanying edits of this scene which would be the transactions and the special effects it make it harder for us to tell what and where this scene is taking place for example here could look like a series of wires instead of vein’s or brain structure.
The scene starts with the film maker’s agency title scene and then progresses into a sort violin background music which then generates into a more upper base soundtrack like the sort of music you would here in a “club” and the change in this music introduces the “FOX 2000 pictures” credit and starts the camera travel throughout this scene.
Then through some more shots of brain structure we get a title “Fight Club” which comes onto the screen very nicely with a special effect of blue neon and a sort of crashing feel to it and then shortly evaporates into smoke as the travelling through the brain continues.
After the opening credits come to a close and we exit the brain and it brings us out through a hair in the centre of his two eye brows, which is not at first recognisable till the camera pans out. This is when real camera footage takes over and allows us to see the angles of which the director is using and the sort of audience he is aiming for with first clips of drama and tension already in these early stages. The director is using a some extreme close ups very early in the scene and these close up are of some very interesting and are already getting us thinking of what is going for example the first one is of a man’s forehead and what appears to be sweat dripping down his face, this is immediately getting us thinking is he scared, under pressure, angry or just working out?. I think that this is a great way of starting a film and gives us an insight of what is going on. It then takes us to a close up shot foreground focused shot of the man holding a gun which helps us to explain what is going on and makes it clear when the speech starts.
