Which term is described as showing face or detail?

• A. Wide Shot
• B. Medium Shot
• C. Close-Up Shot
• D. Two Shot

Answer: (C)

The term described is close-up. A close-up places the camera very near the subject, typically framing just the face or a specific detail like an eye, mouth, or a key prop. This close framing makes facial expressions and small details stand out, drawing the viewer’s attention to emotion, reaction, or a crucial aspect of the scene. It reduces background distraction and invites an intimate connection with the subject.

In contrast, a wide shot pulls back to show a large area of the setting, giving context and environment; a medium shot often frames the subject from the chest or waist up, balancing person and surroundings; a two-shot includes two people in the frame to emphasize interaction or relationship. When the goal is to show face or a precise detail, the close-up is the right choice.
