2. * A dolly zoom is a cinematic technique in which the camera moves closer or further from the subject while simultaneously adjusting the zoom angle to keep the subject the same size in the frame. The effect is that the subject appears stationary while the background size changes (this is called perspective distortion). * It is being used more and more by film producers, so use caution when using the dolly zoom. You don’t want your film to be cliché!

3. * Dolly zooms create an unnatural effect — this is something your eyes would never normally see. Many people comment on the shot after seeing it for the first time, e.g. "That was weird" or "What just happened there?". * The exact effect depends on the direction of camera movement. If the camera moves closer, the background seems to grow and become dominant. If the camera moves further away, the foreground subject is emphasized and becomes dominant. * The effect is quite emotional and is often used to convey sudden realization, reaction to a dramatic event, etc.

4. * A “zolly” * Telescoping * Trombone shot * Push/pull * A Stretch shot * Reverse Pull * More technically as forward zoom / reverse tracking or zoom in / dolly out * Trans-trav * The “Hitchcock zoom” or the “Vertigo effect” * Triple Reverse Zoom * Reverse Tracking Shot * Back Zoom Travelling * Retrograde zoom * “Smash Zoom” or “Smash Shot” * A “Jaws shot” * A “zido” * Contra-zoom

5. * Invention of the dolly zoom is credited to cameraman Irmin Roberts. The technique was made famous by Alfred Hitchcock (Vertigo being the best-known example), and was used by Steven Spielberg in Jaws and ET. * Many other directors have used the technique.
