Research: Dolly Zoom



 DOLLY ZOOM Effect Examples in Film- Cinematic Camera Movement for Storytelling

Dolly Zoom

One thing I learned from this video is that, when the subject appears still while the background seems to become further away, is due to the camera moving closer to the subject while zooming out at the same time. 

Another thing I learned is, the dolly zoom can also make the subjects face change, to look skinny and distorted. As the cameras distance and zoom change, it does not only affect the background but also the subjects face and helps add to their expression. 


The dolly zoom is most commonly used during a drastic event or sudden realization in the subjects life. It can also be used without a subject, and show the point of view. Displaying how the subject views something or to highlight any emotions of fright as the view is stretched further back.
