A closeup is a camera shot that frames a subject very closely, typically focusing on a person's face or a specific detail of an object. This shot emphasizes the subject's expressions, emotions, or important features by filling most of the frame with it. Closeups are used to highlight significant elements, convey intimacy, or draw attention to particular details, making them essential for creating a strong emotional connection with the audience.

What is a "montage"?

A montage is a filmmaking technique where a series of short, varied shots are edited together to condense time, convey information quickly, or illustrate a sequence of events. This method is used to show the passage of time, highlight character development, or build up a narrative through a rapid sequence of images. Montages can be set to music or a voice-over, enhancing the emotional impact and pacing of the story. By combining these shots, filmmakers can efficiently communicate complex ideas or transitions in a visually engaging way.
