	Close-up - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In film, a close-up is a shot that is closely zoomed in on a person or object.
		Close-ups are generally short cutaways from a more distant shot to show detail, such as a character's emotions, or some intricate activity by their hands.
		Television shows that do not use close-ups are often described as creating an immediate feeling of emotional distance from the characters.

	Guardian Unlimited Film Close Up Inside the dream factory
		Yet the film so reflected Spielberg's intensity for the subject that it nearly stunned his critics; seemingly over night, he was reborn: Oscar winner, public Jew, a film-maker who could, for the most part, balance his competing passions for rigorous storytelling and moral uplift.
		The film is being produced by Universal - Spielberg is just 'a neighbourly advisor', as he puts it - and Universal has been in upheaval since its chairman, Casey Silver, was fired a week earlier.
		The Godfather, after all, is a film with a violence that never wanes; it crescendos with Michael Corleone ordering the murder of his own brother-in-law and leaves the audience with the uneasy feeling that evil leads simply to more evil.

	Close-Up Photography Basics
		The term ‘film’ refers to either the negative or slide in the camera when the photograph is taken.
		When the size of a subject’s image captured on film is equivalent to the subject’s actual size, the magnification rate is 1:1, or life size.
		Film speed also becomes more important as you strive to balance the aperture and shutter speed settings.

	Close up - The Heritage Film
		This preoccupation with display not only led to the films being dismissed as ‘film as conspicuous consumption’ (8) - as if visual pleasure were inherently suspect - but was held to neutralise or override (that is, to have more effect than) other (particularly ironic, progressive or critical) elements in the texts.
		In an argument embryonically in evidence in Craig and most fully developed by Higson, the films’ particular mode of display of the properties of the bourgeois past (described by Richard Dyer as a ‘museum aesthetic’) (7) was held to stitch the spectator into a rapt, uncritical, consumerist relationship with the lavish visual feast on screen.
		What I do want to suggest, however, is that the monolithic dismissals of heritage films as overridingly ‘conservative’ produced in the early 1990s were achieved and were only achievable by silencing questions around the gendering and sexuality of the films, their appeal and their consumption.

	Guardian Unlimited Film Close Up Heather Graham
		In the film she makes another striking entrance, sliding down a pole in the middle of a party and starting to jive wildly.
		She served her apprenticeship as the girlfriend and upped her teen-cool stakes by a wink-wink role in Scream 2.
		Her climb up the Hollywood ladder culminated in her role in last summer's flaccid blockbuster-that-wasn't, Lost in Space.

		Simple one element, close-up, diopter filters, often marked +1, +2, +3, +10, are an inexpensive expensive way to get close.
		This table shows that the magnification on film is the reciprocal of the subject height as measured in inches.
		If a stamp is one inch on film and one inch in real life, it is 1X magnification or "life size" on film.

	Genders OnLine Journal - Close Encounters on Screen: Gender and the Loss of the Field
		By deploying an enlarged microid field of tunnelled terrain suggestive of the features of the human female reproductive tract, Aliens engenders the field of operations and projects that suggestive engenderment back onto the psycho-ideological operation of the film's close-ups.
		In this convention, we might also understand overly close shots as an effect of relative scale; for example, an overly close sequence might involve too many close ups, medium close-ups, or medium shots when the implied field of action is a large battlefield or even a baseball game.
		Taken mainly in the car, the close-ups are unnaturally close, so close as to make the open road seem like a closed closet.

	Abbas Kiarostami
		The film then proceeds with the trial, as the participants recount Sabzian's deception and the events that lead up to his arrest.
		Close-up opens to a shot of a newspaper reporter (Hossein Farazmand) fetching two police officers on a taxi to go to a house on Golzar Street.
		The film credits appear, and immediately, a pattern emerges: all of the characters are portrayed by themselves, and the story is based of events that actually transpired.

	MovieMartyr.com - Close-up
		The greatest irony of the film is that the star-struck family’s initial outrage at being tricked into thinking they would star in a Makhmalbaf film resulted in an unforeseeable series of events that culminated in the creation of a Kiarostami film that co-stars both them and Makhmalbaf.
		Makhmalbaf expressed in his films that, when questioned by a stranger on the bus about a copy of the screenplay to Makhmalbaf’s The Cyclist, he claimed to be its author.
		By the film’s end, every scene feels like a loaded proposition, daring us to feel anything, since we’re obviously not capable of simultaneously understanding all of the angles with which we could examine this case.

		For indoor close-ups, you can also use photolamps to illuminate your subjects.
		To determine a value for "d" measure the distance from the film plane to the front of the lens in millimetres.
		The advantage is that the larger film size (120 or 4 x 5-inch film) requires less magnification than 35 mm film to make an enlargement of equal size.

	Long-shot Close-up
		In fact, the only true close-up of the film is of a photograph Wen-ching is touching up: a family portrait (B 12:07-13:52).
		Medium close-ups of single characters are close enough to make facial expressions legible, but by keeping the camera away from the action, long-shots emphasize the context among characters.
		As in most of his other films, it's difficult to decide who the primary character is. We suggest this is, to some degree, a characteristic not only of the New Cinema, but of Asian cinema in general.

	Nema-ye Nazdik (1990)
		The film is a joy made up of mostly real footage of the trial and interviews with all involved, and also re-enactments of real events by the actual people involved.
		The film comes across as a portrait of a film-lover, as Hossain Sabzian defends his reasons for his impersonation in court with Kiarostami as the judge (literally) and the audience as jury, praying for a light sentence for Sabzian.
		Sabzian comes across as a screen legend, his innocence draws us to identify with him, a sweet man with a passion for films and family.

		Fortunately, slide duplicating films can be purchased which are balanced for either daylight or tungsten illumination.
		As the lens is moved away from the film, the light passing through the lens is dispersed over a wider area and less of the light illuminates the film.
		With view camera equipment this is determined by measuring the distance from the film plane to the lens board and then subtracting from this distance the flange focal length of the lens being used.

		Isou treats the film material with the utmost contempt, inserting black leader, scratching the emulsion, running footage upside down or in reverse.
		"Films of the Situationist International" (April 28 through May 1) opens with situationist leader Guy Debord's film adaptation of Society of the Spectacle and a 1994 portrait of the artist-provocateur; it includes a reconstructed Debord film-event and a pair of Asian genre films "détourned" by his disciples.
		But the strongest film (qua film) in the series isn't, strictly speaking, a situationist work at all.

		In the 30-minute film Life-Death (1969) - which was shown for the first time at Documenta V in 1972 - film acts as a device for Sieverding’s self-reflection, illustrating the desire for life and death, and maintaining a balance between the two.

	DVDBeaver - Close-Up Review by Gary W. Tooze
		The courtroom activity was filmed "live" by Kiarostami with one camera filming close-ups on Sabzian.
		The film is shown in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1.
		For the rest of the film the real individuals of the story repeat their experiences to portray themselves in front of the camera.

	Close-Up
		The film, with its lack of resolution or reasons for the decision of the protagonist to attempt suicide, invited the same kind of interaction from the audience as Through the Olive Trees.
		Stressing a natural approach to his material and building his film on endless repetition, Kiarostami succeeded in making a film from a child's point of view that refused to adopt the condescending, cutesy tone of most films made about children, and he earned kudos for his work.
		Kiarostami's next major project was more of a lighthearted affair: he produced the script for Jafar Panahi's The White Balloon (1995), a children's film told from the point of view of a young girl searching a marketplace to buy a goldfish in time for New Year's Eve.

		However, today's films are much improved over films of even ten years ago and 100 speed films are also very sharp and fine-grained.
		The majority of orchid photography at this web site was done on slide film using professional studio strobes, either a Dynalite Uni400 with a soft box or an old 400w/s Thomas power pack with one or two flash heads and a custom reflector.
		If shooting slide film, be sure to "bracket" exposures, i.e., shoot at normal exposure, 1 stop under exposed, and 1 stop over exposed.

		The film is an exploration of the human spirit for survival and even to enjoy life in the face of a natural disaster.
		A middle-aged film director (the director Abbas Kiarostami's alter ego) travels with his young son Puya to the earthquake-hit village of Koker in Iran where he hopes to find the young Ahmadpour brothers, the lead actors of his earlier film Where is the Friend's House?
		Through the reflections of old man Ruhi (another amateur actor from the earlier film) and Puya, Kiarostami reveals a life-affirming rationalization for why life must go on.

		Kiarostami’s film is an extraordinary mix of documentary and fiction.
