Keep mum in shot (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

close up

This clue is a double definition.

'keep mum' is the first definition.
('close up' can be a synonym of 'keep mum')

'shot' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for close up that I've seen before include "Cease operating; draw together" , "shut?" , "Photograph" , "detailed scrutiny" , "refuse to talk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
