Style of filming
Fincher likes to map out camera movements with computer-generated imagery, commission intricate sets, get heavily involved in post-production, and re-shoot footage after the principal photography has wrapped. He does not normally use hand-held cameras when he shoots a film, preferring cameras on a tripod. His most frequent use of a hand-held camera was for Seven, in which five scenes were shot that way.
Secondly, Fincher likes to confuse audiences with his camerawork. Sometimes, it is difficult to determine if a shot is human-controlled, motion-controlled or computer-generated imagery.
Thirdly, Close-ups are very common in Fincher's films, extreme close-ups.
