Reverse Track

A Reverse Track Shot can also be known as a Vertigo Shot. They are a shot in a way which the camera focuses on a subject in a scene and then either Tracks away from the subject whilst zooming in to the subject or Tracks towards the subject whilst zooming out from the subject. Doing this makes the subject appear as if its staying the same size in the frame but the audience can still see that the camera is either moving towards or away from the subject in the scene. Using a Reverse Track Shot allows the audience to see more or less of the background in the scene but the subject stays almost the same size so this can be used if you want the subject to be the only focus in the scene when closing up on the subject or the background can become part of the subject when backing away from the main subject.
