Shaun of the Dead
Writer/director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and The World’s End) has made a name for himself by creating comedies that feel very much like the genre they are parodying. One of the many tools he uses for doing this is close-ups. In this video essay from /Film, edited by David Chen (/Filmcast and /Film), Wright reveals his secrets on the art of close-ups and plunges into how he uses them to cut between scenes.
