ECU stands for Extreme Close UP. It's an shot type of the camera work. There are a lot of different types of shots like wide shot (WS), medium shot (MS), medium close- up (MCU), close- up (CU) and variations of these frame sizes. The ECU gets right in and shows extreme details. In film, photography and television you work with it, cause the Close-ups are one of the standard shots used regularly with medium shots and long shots. In the Extreme Close Up the shot is so tight that only a fraction of the focus of attention can be seen. A good example for this is the picture above.
