Let me illustrate what I mean with a GIF:

[![Naoi believes wings for the president is
fitting](https://i.stack.imgur.com/bg0YV.gif)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/bg0YV.gif)

Usually, the scenes between the three or four consecutive shots don't differ
much except the zoom-ins (or whatever shots are used).

A variation of this technique was
[termed](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/462jjd/anime_direction_and_overdirection_panning_shots/d027y09/)
the "threepeat tilt up" by a redditor, but is that the correct technical term
for this kind of shots? Would the above GIF be called a "fourpeat zoom in"?

Also, was this technique borrowed from the film industry, or was it invented
in anime?

question

What is the technical term for the "consecutive, discrete zoom-in shots" and what is its origin?


These are consecutive [axial cuts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_cut).

> Axial cuts are used rarely in contemporary cinema, but were fairly common in
> the cinema of the 1910s and 1920s.
