I think this interview is worth reading/listening to. Fincher has directed some very notable films and he discusses his approach to shooting/directing. He's known for doing tons of takes on his shoots. On The Social Network he shot 268 hours of footage. Wow that is a crazy amount of footage. This is a good educational interview.
