1916 practice: Sargent names several jobs for the close-up: break a scene that runs too long, emphasise an action that might be lost, create intimacy, show facial expression, give a small player-action its own stage, shorten a scene whose action must stay in that scene, replace a leader to some extent, and emphasise a component part (an object or peril). Each is a claim; the restaurant, John-and-Edna, club-speech and tied-hero cases are his invented illustrations. He says (para 15, paraphrase) that the two worked examples comprehend about all that can be said of the close-up, while the use of the device is wide.

Curator qualifications: Close-up definition, jobs, numbering as separate scenes, cautions and the bounded 'no ratio' negative are verified as Sargent's text. The density figures in -04 are counts of his own printed examples.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
