David Fincher - What Often Goes Unnoticed

Фильм және анимация

David Fincher’s films have often been analyzed for their visual style - the exacting cinematography, precise editing, muted color palette, and meticulous construction of the frame. But with the release of The Killer, people are starting to take note of another aspect - his evocative use of SOUND. However you can’t really discuss the sonic landscape of a Fincher film without talking about one of his longest creative collaborators - sound designer Ren Klyce. From Se7en to The Killer, and every project in between, Klyce’s mixes have provided a crucial aural backdrop, frequently blurring the line between sound and music. They both build a textural ambience that sets the tone of the film while also allowing us to access the subjectivity of the characters on screen. So let’s explore how a David Fincher film sounds.

    We really do try to look at films from a perspective that maybe isn’t covered as much. There are so many really great channels doing the same on KZread, so it’s always nice to hear someone commenting that this channel is perhaps bringing something new to that conversation. So glad you’ve found these videos helpful, and we definitely plan on keeping the videos coming!

    I am so glad I was able to find a video essay that so succinctly describes what my favorite part about fincher films is. This guy and his sound editor add so much freakin ambience to a scene it’s magnetic.

    His film ,,Seven,, is so enthralling and at the same time so hard to watch, but it is a masterpiece you want to watch again and again.

    This is your best edited video yet. I could tell that a lot of work went into it. So glad you talked about the sound design of Fincher films. It has always been the least talked about collaboration in his career and The Killer made a lot of people to finally notice the brilliance. Thumbnail made me expect a deeper dive on The Killer but still glad of what I got. The subjectivity in sound design of The Killer is one of the best I've heard. This is why Fincher is one of the greatest directors of all time. He makes sure to know what each department in his production does and helps them peak at the same time so no efforts are wasted. Great video!

    Yeah the thumbnails are always tricky. When we cover a topic that is broad, it can be hard to figure out one image that conveys what the vid is about. Thanks for noticing the edit - really tried hard to get it as tight as possible!

    Yeah, Ren Klyce’s work is pretty incredible, and he really pushes/evolves the idea of what sound design can do in The Killer - specifically with what he’s referred to as “vertical sound cutting.” Sound can be one of those aspects of a film that goes unnoticed, but when you pay attention, it becomes apparent just how much storytelling power it can have.

    Maybe a stretch, but I think the sound of the floor polisher could also foreshadow the sound of the tattoo machine later

    Most janitors know that it takes about four or five minutes to polish a hallway, one end to the other. The effect was never realistic.

    It’s definitely proving to be one of Fincher’s more polarizing films.
