Looking for some help on this type of shot

[beyond the blue]

I've recently tried using this type of shot more into my videos. Although it's time consuming in edit, it's quite rewarding if you can get it something like right. I shot this in Australia recently as part of my holiday video. I've tried unsuccessfully so far to find any advice on how to perfect the technique, to be honest I don't even know what to call it in a search, some sort of reverse drive past or something???

You stay stationary for the shot, then in post-production you start off by cropping in at the start of the sequence then zooming out (gradually uncropping) during the sequence. It uses a technique called keyframing, which is the term you should look up. You need to know how to set a crop at the start of the sequence, set a keyframe at that point, move to the end of the sequence, and set another keyframe at that point. The actual zooming out effect is handled by the software itself.

This is the easy way.

The way that takes a LOT of practice is actually zooming out on the camera.

That's exactly how l shot that sequence. I didn't get the audio levels quite right in the transition though as you can hear, something that I'm looking to improve on. Also l think l should have keyframed zoomed in slightly on the finish the same as l zoomed out slightly on the beginning to balance the sequence.

That is an artificial Zoom shot, if the camera is moving backwards then that would be a Dolly shot. If you want the full Vertigo effect then you need to move the camera backwards while zooming in.
