Essay

The movie fight club takes place in a nameless man's insomniac mind, where he creates Tyler Durden and Marla Singer. The nameless man is lonely and unhappy with his job and life and finds amusement in therapy classes. Until he meets Marla, who also enjoys therapy classes but however, is not in recovery for any cases or sicknesses. Eventually, he meets Tyler on the airplane where they share many words and drift off. The nameless character later finds his apartment in flames and decides to call Tyler for help, where they end up meeting in a bar and drinking. At the end of the night, both the nameless character and Tyler share fists to the face and develop a nightly addiction of fighting which becomes “fight club”.

This isn’t the entire film, but many lessons derive from fight club, such as Tyler teaching the main character to let go and loosen up about life. The movie depicts a mood is very dark and gray throughout, it depicts a grimy look and cold. The location where the fight occurs is dark with one light appearing as well as the house, it’s broken down with little maintenance. I think movie depicts the main characters life as disgusting and torn down.

Story Board

The title sequence will begin with a soft tone of music in the background with a clip of soap being heated up. Within a few seconds, the first name of the title sequence will appear in distance appearing larger and larger until it fades. Following the next clip..

The following clip will sync with the music in the background, with a heartbeat look. Additionally, the second name of the title sequence will appear in distance growing larger and larger until it fades. This will follow throughout the entire title sequence (side note) During the after effects part of this project I will create illustrations of electricity around the text. Additionally, the type will be flashing in and out creating the effect of burning the type into peoples eyes, having them in the frame for about 4 frames and then decay away.
