"I Just Felt Like Destroying Something Beautiful"
I chose to do the movie Fight Club. In this clip we see a great use of distributing power between the fighters. As Jack, played by Edward Nortan, starts to dominate the fight and get on top of Will, the blonde, we see this distribution through High and Low angles. As Jack is on top, the director uses low angles to try and portray power withing Edward Nortan's character. When he shows Will being beaten helplessly, he uses high angles to portray a sense of domination.
He also uses a good variety of close ups and medium shots to show emotion. Especially while the scene flows into slow motions, and the spectators start to realize the damage being done, close ups are used to express fear and concern within their characters.
