![]() ![]() The camera can be moved manually or it could be automated using sliders operated by electronic motion control. Dolly shot makes it look 3 dimensional because parallax is involved. With this technique, the audience feels as if they are physically moving within the scene. ![]() The process of moving closer is called dolly in and the process of moving away from the object is called dolly out. Along with moving the camera towards or away from the subject, you can also move it up/down, left/right or alongside the trajectory. When you want to take the dolly shot, you make the cart travel closer/farther away from the person or object on the screen. You are supposed to mount the camera on top of it. Dolly is a platform that moves along a track. If you are already familiar with what a dolly is, it would be easier to understand how a dolly shot works. In the dolly shot, the camera or the lens doesn’t zoom in or out. Hence, we make it view visually larger or smaller. The zooming technique is used when we want the viewer to focus on something in the frame. However, there is an obvious difference i.e. Optically bringing an object further or closer to one’s view using a zoom lens somewhat resembles the forward and backward technique in the dolly shot. In both cases, the camera remains at its initial position. As you get farther, you zoom out and the object starts looking smaller. To get closer, you zoom in and the object looks larger in the frame. You don’t come close to the object or person, you just magnify the view without changing your physical location. Zooming in is like magnifying what you are seeing. Therefore let’s discuss each in detail and learn the difference between the two shots. I must say each filmmaker has their own taste when it comes to creating shots. These two motions look very similar but they are unique in their own ways. ![]() Dolly Shot.īeing a cinematographer, whenever I am watching TV shows or movies on the channels I have been provided by my Spectrum streaming, I am always examining the shots. He talked about the dolly camera movement, zoom lens and Zoom Vs. If you have something to do with the filmmaking world, you must have watched the recent informative video by Ryan Connolly from Film Riot. ![]()
