David Fincher Quiz – Title Sequences, Se7en and Fight Club

David Fincher began by directing music videos, including Madonna's Vogue, before his first feature, Alien 3, in 1992. His films are known for dark themes, precise framing and striking opening titles.

Kyle Cooper's scratchy title sequence for Se7en in 1995 changed movie openings. Fight Club's titles travel out of the narrator's brain, Panic Room's float among Manhattan buildings, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opens with a cover of Immigrant Song.

Fincher also made Zodiac, The Social Network, whose score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won an Oscar, and Mank. He is famous for shooting many takes to get every detail right.
