English term or phrase: headroom
The article is on close-up shot, and discusses framing the subject's head and upper part of torso:

"Problems in headroom can also arise. A minimal headroom can be lost completely after domestic cut-off, which will result in badly framed shot or, if no headroom is allowed, the resultant shot may appear o be tight in the frame."

الحيز العلوي
Explanation:
الفراغ العلوي

Headroom - A term used with shots of people. This refers to the space above the subject's head. You'll see different amounts of headroom, depending on the intent of the creator of the video. In general, if you're standing right in front of someone, you'll see that they have space all around them - they aren't cut off by a frame. By leaving headroom, or space beside them, you are imitating what you see in real life.
