David Fincher– is known for his works The Social Network, Gone Girl, and Fight Club and has been nominated for 3 Academy Awards
Fincher is most widely recognized for his directing method of following the actor with the camera
Training Source(s)
1) 0:50-1:10 tilt and tracking are common tools in the director toolbox
2) 1:15-1:26 has the camera match the exact velocity of the character in the frame
3) 1:45-1:55 takes lots of skill and synchronization with the cinematographer and actor
4) 2:20-2:25 these shots lock you into the character

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving)
As director, I formulated the storyboard and built tension within it.
we added additional shots of me moving papers to keep the tension.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
I was acting and had Ryley take over some of the direction in the film.
we had Jayden do the calender shot because he is good at the fast zooms we wanted to obtain.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
we took inspiration from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The world for our dramatic and fast shots.
additionally, we followed David Fincher’s directing style
