4 Opening of Video- Children with Books

A close-up focuses your viewer’s attention on specific details. It demands that the viewer concentrate on the information you are giving them. Instorytelling, close-ups have great emotional impact. They can also be used to give the audience information the characters in your video don’t have. Forexample, showing a close-up of a sign reading “wet paint”, right before a medium shot of your character in the process of sitting down on a painted parkbench, would build anticipation and set up the audience for the laugh.You will most likely need to use a camera support, like a tripod, in order to get a steady shot. Check out the camera-handling section.

A close-up of a person would frame the subject from the top of the head to the top of the shoulders. Human emotions are best revealed in close-ups!
