Point of view“Cinematography” literally means “writing in movement,” and generally refers to the manipulation of the film in the camera in the shooting phase (and sometimes in the post-production editing phase.) A camera acts as the “eye” of the motion picture, and directors must decide on the point of view (P.O.V.) that the camera will use for each shot. In most films, the point of view shifts between an “objective” — or all-seeing — perspective and a “subjective” — or single — perspective. The subjective point of view can be filmed from any character in the shot (even an animal). |
