Abstract EN

Due to its multimodality, film has gained a prestigious place in narrative studies and has magnetically been attracted to linguistic inquiry, unavoidably, generating an aura of academic investigation around film and its industry in the field of Cine-semiotics.

The present paper attempts to shed light on the effect of the cinematic technique of Close-up in Emma, a cinematic adaptation of Jane Austen's novel "Emma".

Moreover, it is sought to approach some objectivity in explaining the effect of shot magnification on the reception of film codes by the viewer.
