Use of titles and Sound The electric sounds of the fast paced music go well with the CGI effects used to create visuals of the brains electric impulses The opening sequence is introduced with techno electric non-diegetic music at a fast tempo and alternating beat. The use of this music allows the audiences anxiety to climax. It becomes apparent that the trip through the microscopic brain cells are of the narrator. Straight away we are introduced to the electrically impulsed brain of the main character. With so many electric pulses vaulting through his brain there are implications that one of his emotions are raging. The titles are set in a electric blue colour in order to go alongside the CGI effects in the background so we are not distracted away from the main focal point- the narrators brain. The frantic music and electricity of his brain show us a glance at jacks schizophrenic mind. Portrayed in a frenzied state via the opening titles after a second watch we would adapt this connation of frenzy connected with his adrenalin rushing schizophrenic mind

Lighting As fight club is a neo-noir film it needs to abide by the rules of classic noirs. The use of low-key lighting and heavy emphasis on the use of shadowing leads us to feel that the going ons in this film are of a dangerous calibre. Hard light was used to create the shadow effects in fight club so that the darkness of the films narrative is shown through visualisation Different lighting was used when different characters with different ideas from each other where in a scene. When in the fight club and all the contenders and viewers are there the scene is dark. Contrasting ideologies of two different characters would show through use of low-key lighting for more sinister ideas and personalities and brighter light used for characters with bright ideas and a less sadistic view on life

Mise en scene At the begging we are introduced to the nameless narrator. We are shown his flat and instantly we notice the tagged items of furniture he has bought from IKEA. This scene is of significance to understanding this characters well-being, neat and unnoticeably to sane to be sane. A panning shot is used to scan his room and it becomes apparent that he is living his life to fit in but his way of living is showing he is living his life opposite to the norm. when we are shown his fridge we can see that there is nothing in it. This suggest that he once again is living to fit in but essentially is doing the opposite and basically ends up living a life on show The narrator is always captured in a plain black suite. This has emphasis on his bleak, icy lifestyle

Camera and editing Camera Extreme close-ups of objects are used to show show their significance such as a close up of an object or a persons reaction to the fight. The camera would be long-shot on the action then change to an extreme close up. This would alow the audience to understand a relationship between the action and the object/person. Editing The fasr paced cuts and fast paced story line allowed the action in the film to be continuous. At any point of the film something exciting was always happeing. A technique called splicing was used to alternate between jack (the narrator) and tylers chracters. As they are the same person it shows how the narrators schzophrenia is effecting his mind and turning him mentally ill with a split personlity.
