1914 practice (Phillips): the close-view is a magnified object or a close segment of action. He lists uses (emphasis and dramatic effect, small essential objects, subtle emotion, hidden things, the strong-glass effect) and claims it breaks dangerously long scenes better than any device, and divides inserts into static 'simple inserts' and live 'close-view inserts'. Example 18 and Example 22 treat the letter differently, a tension the text leaves unresolved. He gives no number for how many close-views or how long a scene must be before one is needed.
