close-up shot
Face fills frame
A close-up shot frames a subject tightly, filling most of the screen with a face, object, or detail.
In film and photography, close-ups emphasize emotion, reveal texture, or direct attention to something significant: The director cut to a close-up shot of her trembling hands.
The term is often shortened to simply close-up.
