This is one of my favorite scenes from the movie FIGHT CLUB. The scene is the explanation of what exactly they are about, so the sound is very important. They make good use of the Gestalt Principle. They use figure and ground to create an interesting picture by making the scene fairly dark around most of the people, but Tyler is more clearly lit. They also used illusion to make it seem like there was a bunch of noise in the background even though there were just a bunch of little sounds happening one after another. This scene also uses listening modes to convey the intense meaning. Casual and Semantic listening are used throughout the entire scene. The scene opens up with semantic listening as an off screen Edward Norton is talking about what fight club is. Then it is used as Brad Pitt starts to explain all of the rules. If the audience didn’t understand any of this the rest of the movie would be completely pointless. It also makes use of casual sounds while he is giving the rules. throughout the entire monologue there are various small noises that are extremely loud. One man is shown and heard taking his belt off, some shoes are kicked around, and another man is shown popping bubblegum. This shows that the guys either know the rules already and are anxious to start or the newbies don’t want to waste time.
