A close-up, or closeup, is a type of shot used in filmmaking, television production, and still photography. It tightly frames a person or object and is commonly used alongside medium and long shots. Close-ups show a high level of detail while excluding the broader scene. A close-up of a person is taken from the head to the neck, providing a detailed view of the subject’s face.
