Question

What is a reverse close-up, in Media?

Answer 1

Not up close

Answer 2

Macro is the opposite of zoom or close up

Answer 3

Say you have a scene where two people are talking to each other face to face.

If you show a closeup of person A's face, so that the face takes up most of the frame, that is the closeup shot.  Usually you will see a little bit of person B from behind, such as part of their back shoulders or hair, so that we can identify who is being spoken to.

Then when you show person B's face (with a little of person A's back), that is called the reverse closeup. (Its a closeup shot from the reverse angle).

By the way, if you have a shot that includes both people seen fully, i.e. from the side, that is a wide shot.  If you show both people together from farther away, as a part of a larger scene, that is a long shot.
