ZOOM IN on / DOLLY IN

It depends of if you're using a zoom lens (the lens moves in) or a dolly (the camera physically moves). Also, in the standard American screenplay format, camera directions aren’t written out like “the camera zooms in on…”. Instead, they look like DISSOLVE TO, CLOSE-UP, POV…

agree Turdimurod Rakhmanov : Now I am thinking dolly in or zoom in? Dolly in is also possible.

zooms in on / shifts to

Has to be either one of these, I would clarify with the author.

Thank you.
neutral Katya Kesten : I'm just referring to what the camera does not being written out in the standard screenplay format. Camera movement is always in caps and camera directions are the only way this is done, which is why it could also get confused for TILT-SHIFT.

It seems you're talking about actual physical camera movement. I'm referring to the frame only, which works fine with 'shift.' Either way, it's not 100% clear which it is here, so I'd ask the author to confirm.
