Extreme Close-Up Shot Explained: Definition, Uses & Iconic Examples

The extreme close-up shot is a type of cinematography shot that frames the subject's face from the forehead to the chin. There is not much headroom. It is also known as a "big head shot" for this reason. This camera shot helps bring attention to an actor's facial expressions with very limited surrounding context.

An ideal example of the use of such shots to enhance an actor's facial expressions may be the 2019 Joaquin Phoenix-starrer psychological thriller movie 'Joker'.
