Point of View Shot - LB

a point of View Shot is literally what it says, the shot is made to look like you are looking through the eyes of a specific character, usually by loose movements and placing it at a height relative to the Character they are focusing on. This Technique is used to make things seem more personal, as if you are actually experiencing it first hand like if you were reading a book in the first person. This can be very effective to create a specific feeling, for example in a horror film you could use the pov shot to build up tension by havign someone looking around nervously and then have something jump up on screen. it can be a very useful technique to use.
