A film director is responsible for all aspects artistically and technically during his or her production. Directors may write the films script themselves or be commissioned to write it from the start, or they may be hired after an early draft of the script has been completed. During the pre-production directors are also responsible for selecting the right cast, crew and locations for the film to be placed in. They also direct the rehearsals and the performances of the actors once the film is in production.

It later becomes a cult hit on DVD/VHS and since then many critics have changed their mind. He has also made “Panic Room”, in 2002, in 2007 he then made “Zodiac”, in 2008, “The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, 2010, “The Social Network”,2012 he then directed “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” and recently in 2014 “Gone Girl”. I am interested in his work because David Fincher cares about information for example drama only happens in his films when a character finds out new information. I am also interested in the fact that he gives himself restrictions on his own films for example he only uses close ups if it is important information that the audience needs to know, he doesn’t move the camera unless he feels like it is necessary, he also rarely uses hand-held and the camera has to come across as not human
