How it's used
While often used in photography, this term frequently appears in film and television to describe a shot that focuses tightly on a character's face or a specific object. It carries a sense of intentionality, implying that the photographer or director wants the viewer to pay close attention to the details of the subject. It is rarely used to describe just being physically close to someone in a non-visual context.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe physical proximity between people, as it is strictly a technical term for visual media. If you want to say someone is standing very close to you, use 企得好埋 instead.
