The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.
There is Dead Hat Shot if it's meant to imply that the owner died. It's not exclusive to hats — any object that is associated with them counts.
I'm otherwise unclear on what focusing on the object is meant to communicate if not death of the owner.
Thought of this example after watching The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie , where after the boys' house is destroyed, there's a shot focusing on the destroyed height chart shown earlier in the film.
Edited by EmeraldWitchAlright, apparently some examples of Dead Hat Shot do include non-hat objects, so I guess this could fall under here. (also apologies for the spoiler, I can't get the spoiler brackets to work.)
Edited by EmeraldWitchFormat for spoiler text is [[spoiler: text goes here]].
Pothole links are similar, but use [[TropeNameInCamelCase text to substitute]]
There's Wham Shot, if it reveals some huge destruction. It's used in Return to Oz, when Dorothy sees the remains of the Emerald City.
Symbolically Broken Object and Doom Signifying Iconic Item
are related concepts.

After the characters come back to find their home destroyed, the camera focuses on a significant object that was shown earlier in the movie. Does this trope exist already? I'm talking about any significant object in general, so it's not just an Empathy Doll Shot.
