Dolly Zoom:
Having researched various techniques, we discovered the Dolly Zoom, used in a Jaws scene to show sudden shock and confusion. We also want to achieve these emotions through the technique and experimented to see if this would be feasible with the equipment we have available.
By zooming in on the camera whilst moving the camera itself away from the object filmed (or vice versa) we managed to achieve the desired effect. The main issue was timing; making the speed of the zoom match the movement of the camera was challenging and as a result we didn't produce a shot to the quality of the Jaws shot. Moving the camera away whilst zooming was perhaps the most effective of the two styles of Dolly Zoom so we will probably use this style. There is potential with this shot, and with more practice this will be a realistic technique; we will therefore attempt to use this shot in our opening sequence.
