Psychological conventions;
drama/mystery
danger on a mental level rather than just physical.
2 or more characters preying on one anothers minds or one solitary character with mental struggles.
Characters will have fear or fascination with death.
Characters try and discover own purpose.
Narrative confusion over what is real and what is not.
During Fight Club, many of these conventions are represented, for example there are two characters who prey on each others minds and are always trying to out-do one another, also there is a mental illness with one of the main characters as the audience finds out at the end that it was just his mind playing tricks on him. Furthermore, both characters have a fascination with death as they continuously fight each night. The film also does well to fool the audience with a confusing storyline which only becomes apparent at the end of the film when the real truth comes out. The main character is lonely and suffers from insomnia, so his mind begins to play tricks with him and he starts up fight club showing a psychological effect on him.
