David Fincher's Extreme Close-Ups

The extreme close-up may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of David Fincher's unique visual aesthetic. That's because Fincher's extreme close-ups don't call attention to themselves. The filmmaker stitches the shots into his pictures in a way that is subtle and fluid, yet impactful and abrasive. They often go unnoticed, sitting just under the surface and scratching at our eyes. In my previous two "Extreme Close-Up" videos, I looked at Quentin Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson, two masters of the ECU. If Tarantino and PTA use the ECU as explanation points, Fincher's are used as hyphens, semicolons, and parentheses. Here is a look at some of Fincher's best usages of the extreme close-up. nMUSIC: "Closer (Precursor) by Nine Inch Nails and "Where is My Mind?" by The PixiesnFilms Used:nAlien 3 (1992)nSe7en (1995)nThe Game (1997)nFight Club (1999)nPanic Room (2002)nZodiac (2007)nThe Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)nThe Social Network (2010)nThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)nGone Girl (2014)nnTarantino: https://vimeo.com/124258143nPTA: https://vimeo.com/134670866nnCopyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Studio: GKIDS nDirector: Goro Miyazaki nScreenwriter: Hayao Miyazaki nStarring: Gillian Anderson, Sarah Bolger, Beau Bridges, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bruce Dern, Jeff Dunham, Isabelle Fuhrman, Christina Hendricks, Ron Howard, Chris Noth, Emily Osment, Aubrey Plaza, Charlie Saxton, Alex Wolff, Anton Yelchin nGenre: Animation, Adventure, Family nnPlot Summary: nnFrom the legendary Studio Ghibli [Spirited Away, Ponyo and The Secret World of Arrietty] comes From Up on Poppy Hill, the highly anticipated new feature from Goro Miyazaki and Hayao Miyazaki. nnSet in Yokohama in 1963, this lovingly hand-drawn movie centers on Umi [voiced by Sarah Bolger] and Shun [voiced by Anton Yelchin] and the budding romance that develops as they join forces to save their high school's ramshackle clubhouse from demolition. nnThe story takes place in a Japan that is picking itself up from the devastation of World War II and preparing to host the 1964 Olympics – and the mood is one of both optimism and conflict as the new generation struggles to embrace modernity and throw off the shackles of a troubled past. nnThe top-grossing Japanese release of 2011 and winner of the Japan Academy Prize for Animation, From Up on Poppy Hill captures the innocence of new love as well as the beauty of Yokohama's harbour and lush surroundings. With its rich colour palette, stunning exteriors, sun-drenched gardens, bustling cityscapes and painterly detail, From Up on Poppy Hill provides a pure, sincere, and nuanced evocation of the past, and marks yet another creative triumph for Studio Ghibli...   Less

When Summit Entertainment tapped me to shoot the Movie Poster for Step Up All In I was super excited. Every time I have worked with dancers in the past they took direction exceptionally well. The phenomenal cast of dancers cast for this movie did not need my direction at all. I simply let them know where their mark was, what mood we were looking for and let them do what they do best as seen in this Behind the Scenes video.nnWe shot on a standard white seemless dry set and then onto the fun water tank set complete with fountains. The water tank was made by Dean Wadella and Stewart Handley in Vancouver. They worked hard to ensure the water was warm enough for the talent to jump in without freezing. Fortunately the talent never balked and once in we almost couldn’t get them out.nnThe energy from the dancers was endless. The break dancing Monster was exhaustible. Twitch kept nailing the same move without flaw. Andi and Sean had incredible chemistry that made it so easy for me to photograph sexy images for the key art. The amazing thing is that single image of them used on the movie poster is almost identical to the in camera capture.nnThe water set proved to be so much fun. It reminded me of being in a water fight as a kid. Here I gave the dancers direction to use dynamic movements that would be accentuated and enhanced by the water spray extension.nnCheck out this film in theaters everywhere August 8th.nn#stepupallin #monteisom   Less

If you've checked out Pulp Fiction: Up Close you'll know that I mentioned a second Tarantino film today as well. Jackie Brown (1997) is it.nnYou'll also note if you read the description to the Pulp Fiction video that some folks had done their own videos with the same idea some time ago. The second of these individuals, Josh Clement had in fact done the entire Tarantino filmography, including Jackie Brown of course.nnOnce again this fact was only discovered by me after I'd finished the video. I felt even more foolish.nnNevertheless here it is. Josh's version can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLHtaU3V3dgnnNow I've checked thoroughly and next week's "Up Close" hasn't been done before. It's another big blockbuster hit.nnMusic: Monte Carlo Nights - Elliot Easton's Tiki Gods (Music from the Miramax Motion Picture)nnDisclaimer: I do not own the film used in this compilation.
