  • The "Gen Z zoom" is a popular trend on TikTok where users zoom in quickly on themselves to emphasize something in their videos, creating an intense zoom effect.
  • Unlike millennials who zoom in by gradually pinching the screen, Gen Z opts for a more dramatic quick cut from a far to a near frame, similar to a jump cut.
  • The "millennial zoom" is a standard zoom where the camera gradually gets closer to the subject, providing a fluid transition unlike the sudden jump of the Gen Z zoom. Users can choose to use either zoom or mix them for their content.
