Whiplash - Inspiring Close up shots.

Whiplash: Sounds and Close-Ups from Jorge Luengo Ruiz on Vimeo.

In my short film, I am using a close up a significant amount of times. This is because the attention to detail fascinates me and adds detail to the motive, message and to the audience of the film. The film "Whiplash" uses close ups in an interesting way. Above is a clip of all the closeups from the film. This is because the outcome of the film is created to be an intense ending. This is caused by the harsh use of closeups. The closeups in the film are detailed and beautiful as they create intimacy with the audience. This is what I strive for when I carry out not only my close ups but every single camera shot I do.
