=== Notable examples === In [[Jaws (film)|''Jaws'']] (1975), the famous "Get Out Of The Water" scene contains a dolly zoom that focuses on Martin Brody's shocking realization of a shark on the beach.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nnLUa7V9Sm8C&pg=PA65 |title=Maya® Secrets of the ProsTM |first1=John |last1=Kundert-Gibbs |first2=Dariush |last2=Derakhshani |publisher=[[John Wiley & Sons]] |date=20 February 2006 |page=65 |isbn=9780782150612}}</ref> In ''[[Raging Bull]]'' (1980), [[Martin Scorsese]] uses dolly zoom shot to disorient the audience and put them in Jake LaMotta's shoes, and thus creating a vertigo effect.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hellerman |first=Jason |date=June 21, 2023 |title=How Does Martin Scorsese Block and Shoot a Scene? |url=https://nofilmschool.com/how-does-martin-scorsese-block-and-shoot-scene |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230706224608/https://nofilmschool.com/how-does-martin-scorsese-block-and-shoot-scene |archive-date=July 6, 2023|access-date=November 14, 2023|website=nofilmschool}}</ref> In ''[[Goodfellas]]'' (1990), Scorsese uses dolly zooms to convey tensions between characters. This shot is most famously employed in Henry's dive into [[paranoia]], where he eats at a diner with Jimmy while tracking a window to see if anybody has been following him.<ref name=":0">{{YouTube|title=The Dolly Zoom: More Than A Cheap Trick|id=u5JBlwlnJX0}} {{retrieved|access-date=2023-03-15}}</ref> In ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' (2001), [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] stands by as a dolly zoom signifies an entrance of an enemy from the woods.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dgmlDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA21 |title=Camera Tricks |first=Sara |last=Green |publisher=Bellwether Media |date=1 August 2019 |page=21 |isbn=9781681035871}}</ref> In ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]'' (2004), a dolly zoom places comedic emphasis on Shaun's bravery, which ultimately fails when his shotgun jams.<ref name=":0" /> In [[Ratatouille (film)|''Ratatouille'']] (2007), the food critic Anton Ego has an intense flashback, signified through a dolly zoom, towards his childhood days after eating Remy's [[ratatouille]]. Throughout the film, dolly zooms are used extensively to highlight the bonding between two characters, such as when Remy feels a personal connection with Chef Gusteau on television.<ref name=":0" /> The [[Apple TV+]] series ''[[Severance (TV series)|Severance]]'' uses the dolly zoom to represent when an employee transitions between their "Innie" company personas at work and their "Outie" real-world selves.<ref>{{Cite web |title=How Severance Pulled Off One of the Most Quietly Disturbing Sets on TV - Assemble |url=https://www.onassemble.com/blog/severance |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=www.onassemble.com |language=en}}</ref>
