Reverse Dolly Zoom 

From this video I learned, the reverse dolly zoom is when the camera starts close and moves further away while zooming in. This is shown when the subject to remains still, as the background appears to be getting closer.

The change in the background makes the setting appear compressed, almost pressing in on the subject. It can be used to connect the subject to what's around them and even highlight how they feel about something. 

Lastly, the reverse dolly zoom can help enhance the character, and even audiences emotions. It can make the audience feel the same as the character, as well as the depth of the emotion bases on the amount of zooming is done.
