Term
Choker
Informal name for an extremely tight close-up, commonly framed around the face from near the neck or chin upward.
In practice
The exact frame is a creative choice rather than a fixed standard. Shot lists should pair the nickname with the intended subject and framing so camera, hair, makeup, and performance expectations align.
