Multiple Points Of View

A point of view shot is a shot in a film scene that shows what a character (the subject) is looking at (represented through the camera). It is usually established by being positioned between a shot of a character looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction (see shot reverse shot). The technique of POV is one of the foundations of film editing. This takes us into the interior world of the character.

In This Vantage Point Clip we first cut to a point of view shot from the pursuers perspective, but in fact the entire film is shown through different peoples perspectives and point of views

the below still shows a typical point of view shot, the hand in the bottom of the frame connects us to the person whose perspective we are in and the shot communicates a sense of height and vertigo as well as tension
