Resounding notions of Object Oriented Ontology[1] in Cinema[2][3] here, which is very much about pick out & possibly stitching together key items from film.

"All of the elements of a shot’s mise en scène, all of the non-relational objects within the film frame, are figures of a sort. The figure is the likeness of a material object, whether that likeness is by-design or purely accidental. A shot is a cluster of cinematic figures, an entanglement. Actors and props are by no means the only kinds of cinematic figures—the space that they occupy and navigate is itself a figure"

And the words they say, as seen here.
