Using Key Frames to Create Movement

 During one part of my film, I want to create a zoom-in on Amy's phone, to emphasize it and make it easier to read since it'll be closer. But, when filming I didn't physically zoom in because I feared it would make the footage shaky and I didn't want that. So, I decided to watch a YouTube tutorial on how I could create a zoom-in effect on CapCut. This introduced me to the "keyframes" feature, which I could use to set up two frames within the same clip - one from a normal distance and one close - that would then create a zoom-in effect. Here is the video I watched.

Once I understood how to use keyframes, it was pretty straightforward. I set one keyframe at the beginning of my clip from a normal distance, then I zoomed in on my footage from my phone and set another keyframe. I also used a keyframe to pan the footage upwards. This matches the character's vision and puts viewers in her perspective. I would consider this type of shot to be an "eyeliner match".

This yielded a smooth movement that I think looks much better than if I had tried to do the same thing manually while filming. Here is the final product:
