MULTIPLE POINTS OF VIEW

 

MULTIPLE POINTS OF VIEW

Multiple points of view (AKA POV) are where the scene is shot in one place, but there are multiple camera angles or specific distances compared to a specific event that occurs in the scene. Therefore, the scene is focused on the character and then cut into what another character is looking at.  POV focuses on what each character sees in the scene, and each character can be seen from a different angle or distance. Looking at all the characters from the multiple angles that the audience is watching helps to understand what is happening.
