Types of Shots - A Visual Guide

Here's a good visual reference to various types of shots...


With Close Up (version 2) I like framing with the top of frame above the eyebrows so that the eyes sit at the one third line below the top of the frame and the bottom of the chin about a third from the bottom. When we are talking to someone, this is the area of the face we focus on - eyes to lips - and this should take the center stage in the frame (vertically, but not necessarily horizontally).


See LA Filmmaker for a nice blog post on framing closeups.
