Another time when the narrator is at the cancer support group, in the corridor when the narrator is visiting the doctor and also when the narrator sees Marla leaving a meeting. The projection seen in these scenes were very brief that it can be seen as a subliminal message to the audience that the narrator is handling his problems by projecting an alter ego and these few brief projections were the beginning before Tyler Durden is fully projected by the narrator at the airport.

The theme that I have chosen to analyze _____ from the year 2000 DVD of the film Fight Club directed by David Fincher who also directed Alien3, Se7en etc. The two main characters are: Jack also known as the Narrator is played by Edward Norton and the second main character Tyler Durden is played by Brad Pitt. I will confine my analysis to camera angles, lighting and mise en scene and how the director uses these to distinguish between Jack’s mind state i.e. whether we are seeing the world through Jack or Tyler’s eyes. So I’m not going to analyze the inherent references to masculinity, sexuality and references to pornography that exist throughout the film.

    Fight Club, directed by David Fincher and adapted by Jim Uhls, focuses on an insomnia stricken narrator by the name Jack (Edward Norton) who develops a relationship with a rather esoteric character by the name of Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt).
