The increasingly popular YouTube channel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCJkMlOu7faDgqh4PfzbpLdg\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Nerdwriter1<\/a> dives into just how\u00a0<strong>immersive and thoughtful<\/strong> David Fincher&#8217;s films are and why they continue to\u00a0<strong>engage audiences in new and exciting ways<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GfqD5WqChUY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The study is simple: Fincher&#8217;s films operate on an entirely different level, commanding our attention in ways other directors are unable to emulate. The director\u00a0uses a &#8220;trick&#8221; or &#8220;style&#8221; that has proven wildly effective, making\u00a0him one of the most exciting to watch. The trick\u00a0is to <strong>capture audiences&#8217; eyelines<\/strong> and bring their attention to the screen, and it all lies in how\u00a0the cameras move in relation to the characters.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"moving-with-the-characters\">Moving with the Characters<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-96064 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Fincher-1.gif\" alt=\"How David Fincher Tracks His Characters \u2013 Moving With Characters\" width=\"755\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fincher has the camera operator <strong>match the exact velocity and direction of the character<\/strong>.\u00a0This takes the audience, literally, step-by-step alongside the actor. As a viewer, this totally immersive\u00a0method lets you experience\u00a0exactly what the character experiences\u00a0as the story unfolds. You feel what they feel, you see what they see, you hear what they hear.\u00a0In many ways, <strong>you become the character<\/strong>.\u00a0As Nerdwriter1 puts it, these movements &#8220;lock you into the behavior of the characters.&#8221; From a storytelling perspective this approach is just one incredible way the director adds to the tension of his narratives.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"following-the-emotion\">Following the Emotion<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-96066 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Fincher-2.gif\" alt=\"How David Fincher Tracks His Characters \u2013 Following the Emotion\" width=\"755\" height=\"310\" \/><br \/>\nThe stories of Fincher&#8217;s insane shooting habits are true, but they happen for good reason. The <strong>precision required of his camera movements<\/strong>\u00a0demands\u00a0both the actors and the operators to do rehearsal after rehearsal after rehearsal. The star of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1856010\/?ref_=nv_sr_1\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">House of Cards<\/a><\/em>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000705\/?ref_=nv_sr_1\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Robin Wright<\/a> said Fincher gave her this little piece of advice on directing her first episode in the series:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Every scene you direct&#8230;it&#8217;s the same thing. Behavior over time \u2013 it&#8217;s a fraction. Behavior is the most important thing of every piece of material that you read, that you perform in, and direct. Look at the behavior.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fincher uses this exact methodology, making sure that when a character behaves a certain way, and moves a certain way, the audience feels that way, too. If somebody is scared or angry, the <strong>camera movement should reflect these emotions<\/strong>. Bring your audience\u00a0into the fold, making them\u00a0just as much a part of the story as the characters.<\/p>\n<p>When it&#8217;s all said and done, the end product Fincher gives us is usually a masterclass in <strong>style, form, and groundbreaking storytelling<\/strong>. His new show, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt5290382\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><em>Mindhunter<\/em><\/a>, is available on Netflix now, and it&#8217;s worth your time.
