Fight Club opening analysis




The opening sequence to fight club shows how the theme of the film will focus on psychology and the brain, it does this by travelling through the characters brain behind the opening credits. Then zooms out through his head to reveal his face, but not any of this surroundings which creates mystery and asks questions. The fact that his face is bruised adds mystery as it is not revealed why. Similarly a gun is pointed at him although it is not revealed why. The non-diegetic music breaks convention in that it starts with a more traditional orchestral piece that is cancelled by record scratching with a heavy guitar track taking over, this confuses the viewer.
