In films, close-ups are termed as

In films a close-up shot is described as a visual paradigm, since it is a visual unit that carries condensed meaning to the viewer.

By filling the frame with a face or object it directs attention and signals emotional or narrative significance visually.

Calling it a pro-active paradigm has no basis, as the term does not describe any recognised film-language category.

Naming it a static paradigm is wrong because a close-up is an expressive framing choice, not a label for lack of movement.

Describing it as an altered paradigm also fails, since a close-up is a standard shot type and not a distortion of one.

The close-up thus belongs with the visual grammar of cinema through which images convey feeling and emphasis.
