Dolly

Also called: Dolly shot

The camera physically travels forward, backward or sideways, approaching or following a subject and revealing its relation to the space.

As the camera moves in, watch the person grow while the far mountains barely change.

Often confused with

Zoom: The camera stays put and only the lens magnifies, so perspective doesn’t change
Crane shot: Rises or falls instead of moving forward or back
Dolly zoom: Adds an opposite zoom so the subject stays the same size and only the background changes
