How it works
A slow, deliberate move of the camera towards the subject, usually during an important moment.
In AI video, the model only knows what you tell it. Name the move in plain camera language and describe what the frame should contain at the start and at the end.
When to use it
Push in on a model's face as they look into the lens at the end of a film.
Compared with similar shots
