English term or phrase: dolly in

There is an old-fashioned window made out of green wooden shutters. The camera dollies in. The window opens.
(Dolly Shot) There is a toilet in the side of the living room. The lid is open. From the tank of the toilet there is a 6 inch pipe that comes out of it and goes into a huge aquarium with water where a woman is swimming. Her legs are bound with rope so she moves them like a mermaid’s tale. Her arms are tattooed heavily and she has a shaved head. On top of the aquarium there’s a red/orange light that flickers a little.
Opposite the aquarium there is a man dressed in a military uniform sitting on a velvet blue armchair smoking a cigar. He’s watching the woman in the tank while he smokes his cigar. With his other hand he starts touching his groin. The woman in the tank notices him and looks at him. She tries to speak and bubbles start coming out of her mouth.
She starts banging on the aquarium wall. “Knock knock knock” gets louder and louder while the man remains oblivious.

Moving the camera forward is called dolly in. Moving the camera backward is called dolly out.

Στην συγκεκριμένη περίπτωση θεωρώ πλεονασμό να αναφερθείς στη βάση πάνω στην οποία είναι στερεωμένη η κάμερα. Αυτό μπορείς κάλλιστα να το κάνεις στη συνέχεια του κειμένου σου αφού έχεις το "dolly shot".
