For other uses, see
Close up (disambiguation) In
film and
television, a close-up tightly
frames a person or object. The most common close-ups are ones of actors' faces.Close-ups are often used as
cutaways from a more distant shot to show detail, such as characters'
emotions, or some intricate activity by their hands. Close cuts to characters' faces are used far more often in
television than in
movies; they are especially common in
soap operas. Television shows that do not use close-ups are often described as creating an immediate feeling of emotional distance from the characters.
