Close-up shot
A close-up shot fills the frame with a subject's face, roughly from the chin to just above the head. It hands the scene to the performance, so every flicker of expression carries. Frame one in your browser with Morphic, then animate the still with Image to Video.
Close-up shots you can generate
When to use a close-up shot
Carrying a reaction
Cut to a close-up the moment a line lands, so the audience reads the response on the face instead of being told it.
Building intimacy
Move in close as a conversation turns personal. The tighter frame shrinks the distance between viewer and character.
Marking a turning point
Hold on a face at the moment a decision is made, so the beat reads as a change rather than a pause.
Interviews and talking heads
The default frame for documentary and brand interviews, close enough for connection while still reading as natural.
