Hey Karolina - okay, so my observation would be that Chapter 1 should focus solely on introducing, defining and contextualising Capitalism and consumerism, and the interrelationship between the two forces. I don't think you need to discuss cinematography or get into the issues of 'good/bad' - you just want to establish the terms and the terrain of the key concepts.
Chapter 2 should focus on 'critiques of Capitalism' and how visual artists have explored the issue - so not cinema yet - think fine art examples and how Marxist ideas have informed the debate.
Chapter 3 - Fight Club as case-study (on reflection, I think you could focus solely on this film - looks nice and focused now).
