In this clip form the Coen brothers ‘Blood Simple’, a lot of extreme closeups/close ups are used, intercut with the actions of the characters. I love close ups of little actions like that as you can really focus on the sound effects and can exaggerate them as seen in the clip here. The click of the cigarette lighter, the cigarette sizzling as he butts it out, the slap of the fish on the table. It reminds me of ‘Requiem for a Dream’, a lot of ECU’s with really satisfying and exaggerated sound effects. Throughout the scene you can hear crickets, setting the time of day as night.
