Not all cameras can get that close.
It's funny actually, because my camera isn't all that fancy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I usually have to get my camera in really close to get these shots--if I zoom in too much it won't focus properly. The auto-focus can be really annoying as well.
The old point and shoot I used for Bank and Pirates had only auto focus, but the focus could get really close. really, really close. It could focus on dust on the lens if you wanted clear pictures of that, and I really liked that.
I was a bit annoyed when I got my SLR because it can't get very close at all without a macro lens, which really bugged me. Filming I Am The Darkness was a pain because of all of the close ups I wanted but couldn't have. My macro lens can't actually get as close as my old camera, though, however its view is just slightly zoomed. The closest it can get is Fred's super flaming close-up in LiF. But I actually kinda like it being zoomed in slightly because you have more room for your fingers to get in there.

One can interpret the theme any way they want. Even if the development failed it doesn't mean it's not about development.
My own BRAWL film incorporates the theme as development is an important thing that you should do and you should learn from your mistakes by showing that not happening. It's even basically spelled out like a children's story in the end:
Develop we can when errors we make
better's a man who's learned from mistake
The lesson here of out little vinjet:
Mem'ry is dear, so please don't forget
Faloovians spell vignette as vinjet, but it's still said vinyet.
