Point of View Shots

A point of view shot shows a persons perspective. In most POV shots it is edited in such a way that it is obvious as to whose POV is it. This can be referred to as "subjective camera".

POV shots are usually put between a shot in which a character is looking at something and what their reaction is showing by looking. When the camera switches back and shows what the character is feeling, this is called a reverse shot. It is common when using POV that filmmakers tend to use other filming techniques to help it.
