David Fincher- Amateur music video director

David Fincher information

Amateur music video director

In his music videos, Fincher appreciated that the visuals should enhance the listening experience. He would cut around the vocals and let the choreography finish before cutting the shot. Camera movements are also synchronized to the beat of the music. He also favours the use of wide-angle shots to showcase a character's environment.

One element of Fincher's visual style is the specific way in which he uses tilt, pan and track in the camera movements. When a character is in motion or expressing emotions, the camera moves at the exact same speed and direction as their body.

He is known for his meticulous eye for detail and perfectionist qualities, Fincher performs thorough research when casting actors to ensure their suitability for the part.

As a music video director, he has directed:

Madonna's 'Vogue', 'Express yourself', 'Oh father' and 'Bad girl'

Justin Timberlake's 'Suit and tie'

Michael Jackson's 'Who is it'
He also collaborated with Rick Springfield four times, and Paula Abdul five times.
