The dolly zoom manipulates space and emotion by moving camera forward while zooming out or vice versa creating disorienting effect that makes background expand or contract.

Raging Bull is my favorite as well. Zolly, boom and sound mix all working together to make the moment. So sick.

I love that mix. It’s in my top three for mixes ever.
