A dolly zoom, also known as the "Vertigo effect," is a cinematic technique where the camera moves closer or farther from a subject (using a dolly), while simultaneously adjusting the zoom lens in the opposite direction. This keeps the subject the same size in the frame but distorts the background perspective, creating a dramatic, unsettling effect often used to convey shock, realization, or psychological tension. #reels #movies #explore | Explaining Everything
