Classic dolly zoom vertigo effect creating psychological tension with background perspective distortion
Ideal for creating unease, realization moments, or psychological emphasis in narrative content
Dolly zoom shot: The camera performs a classic vertigo effect on a person standing at the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean. The camera dollies backward while simultaneously zooming in, keeping the subject the same size in frame while the background perspective dramatically compresses and shifts. The cliff edges and ocean behind appear to push forward and warp, creating a disorienting psychological effect. The subject remains center frame and in focus throughout. Dramatic clouds move in the sky behind. The effect is smooth and controlled, creating a sense of unease and spatial distortion. The ocean waves and distant horizon line bend subtly.
