Film - Club scenes

Over the past few months Ive seen so many films which feature a club scene in it at some point. These scenes usually feature high intense lighting/strobe, kick ass music track's and many other techniques that many directors are all using to get across the real hype experience of being in a packed nightclub.

Every time i see one Im going to add it to my blog and see just what techniques the directors use.

Ok the first one im going to start off with is a scene from the film "Collateral" staring Tom Cruise and Jamie Fox. This film is one of my favorites and the first time I saw this film i was like woah. It keeps you completely interested on tom cruise's character and how he uses Jamie Fox as a decoy to go about his assinations. The Club itself's has been chose not just because of the strobe lighting but also the walls are tiled with plasma tv's that give out a blue glow onto the characters faces. 

Now in a real club it would obviously be alot darker but the use of lighting focus's on the main characters and not the hundreds of extras which are still silhouettes figures in the background. The music also plays a big part in this scene building tension to the point of the assination.
