Had to...

Posted by Bernard

Like a true junior director...



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).

The dolly zoom is often over-used by junior directors. Many film critics see it as a cliché.
