A zoom shot is simply the magnification of the image. When a filmmaker uses a dolly, they physically move through space, displace objects, provides the audience a three dimensional feel. A truck, or trucking shot, is when the camera moves from side to side. There is no depth creation, but it is important to make sure both the beginning and ending shots have are strongly composed. Before turning on the recording, zoom into the subject and check the cameras focus. This prevents the focus from readjusting as the zoom takes place. When the zoom is finished, it is important to hold the shot for an additional 5-7 seconds. When enough room is left on either side, the final edit can still use the footage in case of an all-too-often issue with zooming, in that it's nauseating. Dollying and trucking add a spacial dimension and interesting aspects of movement to otherwise still shots. They can be used to connote a change of pace of the action and story, as well.
