Camera angles: Close up

A close up shot doesn't include very much background in the image so all the viewer focus's on is what the camera is showing. It either concentrates on a face or a specific detail of mise en scene. Usually everything in the background is blurred, and the object is magnified to show the importance of what is shown, for example; an expression on someones face. A close up of a face is a very intimate shot so it is used to make the audience feel extra comfortable or very uncomfortable with the character.
