Which shot shows only a part of the characters face; eyes, mouth, etc?

• A. Establishing Shot
• B. Extreme Close Up
• C. Close Up
• D. Medium Shot/Cowboy

Answer: (B)

An extreme close-up is a shot that tightens the frame to a small portion of the face—often just the eyes or the mouth. This focuses attention on a specific feature to emphasize emotion, reaction, or a particular detail, making the viewer feel closely connected to the character’s inner moment. The question describes showing only part of the face, which matches this strong, detail-oriented framing. In contrast, an establishing shot sets the scene and location; a close-up typically frames the entire face or head-and-shoulders; a medium shot shows more of the body, usually from the waist up. So the shot that best fits “only a part of the face” is the extreme close-up.
