Zoom Lens

a Zoom lens is a lens on a camera (still and video both) to get a closer shot of the subject. There are lenses that have both optical zoom and digital zoom capabilities (optical zoom being the better of the two)

dolly zoom

A dolly zoom is aspecial effect on film where the camera lens zooms in, while the camera itself is pulled backward on a dolly. It creates a highly unsettling perspective shift that can be used to dramatic effect, for example in Hitchcock's Vertigo.

It's sweeps, and I've seen twenty dolly zooms this week alone. Stupid TV shows trying to be more dramatic...

Also, you don't learn half the stuff you're supposed to. Also, it makes everyone develop intense social anxiety. So basically, your average school thing.

Kid 1: hey, I think I'm in your spanish class
Kid 2: yeah, same period too? Cool, see you in zoom class!
Kid 1: omfg I don't want to unmute what if people think my voice sounds weird??
