POV

In the lesson on Point of View I learnt that:

Point of View can dramtically alter how an audience can read a scene, depending on which character they Identify with, scenes when, scripted the same, shot from a different character's point of view can totally change what they think of each character.
However, if there are no strict POV shots, then the audience are limited to being observers, which can have it's own uses.
Using close-ups and line of sights is the most common way of establishing point of view and identification within an audience it is important to consider this when constructing shots and storyboarding.

POV shots can be established through montage i.e. showing a character looking and then the object they are looking at.

Identification with a character can be established through proximity and angle of the camera to the characters face, the close the camera the more the identification.
