Medium close-up shot
A medium close-up frames a subject from the chest or shoulders up, sitting between a medium shot and a close-up. It reads expression while keeping a little context and gesture around the face. Generate one from a prompt in Morphic, then animate it with Image to Video.
Medium close-ups you can generate
When to use a medium close-up
Dialogue coverage
The default frame for conversation: close enough for expression, wide enough to keep a hand gesture or a lean in shot.
Interviews
Chest-up framing reads sincere and steady, which is why documentary and brand interviews live at this size.
A softer close-up
When a full close-up feels too tight or intense, the medium close-up carries the emotion with a little more air.
Reactions with context
Keeping the shoulders in frame lets body language colour a reaction the face alone would not tell.
