Type of Close-ups Cut-in close-up: a magnified portion of the preceding large scene. The audience’s curiosity should be satisfied by bringing them closer, otherwise the viewer may lose interest. Cut-away close-up: is related to, but not a part of, the previous scene. Cut-away close- ups may be filmed from three camera angles: Objectively, Subjectively and point- of view.
