Description:
A “talking head” refers to a shot or segment in which a person is filmed speaking directly to the camera, typically framed from the waist up (medium close-up) or just the head and shoulders (close-up). This type of shot is commonly used in interviews, news broadcasts, vlogs, and documentaries to convey information or provide commentary.
Usage:
The “talking head” shot focuses on the speaker, emphasizing their facial expressions and verbal communication. It is often set against a simple or neutral background to avoid distractions.
