Director analysis - David Fincher

David Fincher was born August 28th 1962. He is an American film director and music video director and is very well known for his music video work with artists such as:
- Madonna
- The Rolling Stones
- George Michael
- Michael Jackson
- Justin Timberlake
This is a very big range of different types of music artists and they all have different genres of music. All of the music videos he made for these artists (and many more) were all big budget videos. He is an extremely successful film maker and director as well as being a very successful music video director. The music videos got him well known and on the radar and he then  started to direct films as well.

A lot of his videos have performance in them and show the artist all the way through such as Justin Timberlakes 'Suit and Tie', Madonnas 'Vogue' and The Rolling Stones 'Love is Strong'. 'Suit and Tie' and 'Vogue' are both done in black and white even though 'Suit and Tie is very recent and could have been done in colour. These two videos are also very glamorous and you can tell there was a big budget for them. You would expect them to be very glamorous though because they are big well known artists. This is also the case for Michael Jacksons 'Who is it' and George Michaels 'Freedom'. From 1984-2013 he has been making music videos and you can see the similarities between all the videos and you can see David Finchers style of music video which is that they are very big budget and mostly very glamorous.





I do like his style of video but I think i prefer the more unusual ones that make you want to keep on watching and that make you really interested. I think he has got away with the general music video style because he has starred the well known musicians in the video and that's who he is working for. I think the Rolling Stones video for 'Love is Strong' is better and more interesting because it has an unusual concept. However i do still like the music videos for the other songs.
