How To Create Specific Effects: Reverse Zoom

     The Reverse Zoom shot is used to enhance the way we view a character facial expression. This adds a twisted sense to the scene because it creates a sense of unease in the audience because of the warp effect that it makes when shot properly. The reverse zoom isn't really particular to any genre. But if it were particular to one it would be horror, because of the sense of uneasiness.

    The way this shot is created is by pulling the camera back in a direction while zooming into the opposite direction than the direction the camera is going. If the camera is moving forwards that means you zoom out. If the camera is moving backwards you zoom inwards. This is what creates the warped effect that we see in the scenes below.
