One of #DavidFincher's biggest influences is the #Photography of #RobertFrank.
@joelmeyerowitz's passionate description of Frank's process might throw some light over what Fincher is seeking when he does a lot of takes: the capture of those "peaks".

Carrie Coon ( @carriecoon) ( @GoneGirlMovie, 2014) offers a perfect counterpoint on the "Fincher Method" from the actor's perspective.
"Presentation is a weird translucent diffuse plastic hymen between what I wanted to be and what the actor wanted to be..." 
"The camera is going to trap them in amber for all time..."
Brilliant actor Jared Harris ( @JaredHarris) completely in synch with the Fincher method.

#DavidFincher:
"There's another aspect to it [multiple takes], which is the crew. There's the boom operator, the camera operator, the focus puller, the script supervisor... And when you do something many many times, it's the ballet of it. It's how people get together as a group."

"A #dollygrip for me is almost more important than some of the actors [chuckling]. Because that person can kill you. And they can kill how you perceive somebody, and when you move to somebody, and when you land in a room."
"To me is very very important. The spatial relationships between the person pushing the dolly and the actors. They have to dance."
#DavidFincher (2011):
"On my movies, #DollyGrip is important. I mean: we will wait for Michael Brennan. We want to start shooting at the beginning of January. Brennan is not available until February? So we'll start in February!."

"He can save you three days of shooting over the course of the production, he's that good. When you are in sync with somebody like that, and they have your kind of aesthetic."
"I can say, 'I want the camera to start here and it's going to come around, and it's going to be over the shoulder.' And [Brennan] is watching, and he knows, that camera is 33 inches off the ground."
