dolly shots
Wheeled camera movements
A dolly shot is a camera movement where the entire camera moves toward, away from, or alongside the subject—typically on a wheeled platform called a dolly.
Unlike a zoom, which changes focal length, a dolly shot physically relocates the camera, creating a more natural sense of depth and motion: The dolly shot followed her down the corridor.
