This is an interesting topic, but I doubt I'd be very good at it. I seem to remember hearing years ago that Alfred Hitchcock was the first to create the effect of zooming in and stretching the shot simultaneously (as in Jaws, when it dawns on the sheriff that the shark is attacking). Hitchcock did it first with Vertigo I believe. But then, I might be completely mistaken.
Incidentally, Vertigo is one of my favorite movies. Just FYI. :)
