Multiple Points of View

At the editing stage, the editor will switch between camera angles depending on what the subject is doing. This effect of changing distances and angles, opposed to sticking to one shot all the way through, brings shape, texture, and depth to the scene. The editor uses this to keep continuity, which makes the cut invisible and the audience gets a multi-faceted perspective on events which engages them in the action. 

Multiple Points of View - Is a technique where a number of different camera angles are employed to film a single event. 

The difference between 'following the action' and 'multiple points of view' is that in the latter we are focused on a single piece of action seeing that action from many different vantage points. 

The Multiple Points of View technique can:

• Enable the audience to see a bigger picture and help them understand what is going on;
• Add dynamism to the action making the scene more engaging;
• Manipulate time: observing the same action from multiple perspectives elongates time;
• Reveal key information from different perspectives.
