Extreme Close-ups: Objects
The close-up is one of the most known and recognizable techniques cinema has to offer. The name refers to every shot that focuses on a person or an object by framing it closer than it is usual.
Some objects are richly symbolic, others are purely entertaining and yet others have transcended the boundaries of the screen; acting as shorthand for an entire film and often becoming themselves icons of popular culture.
