A point of view shot is a camera angle used to obtain a point of view from a character which the director has chosen. For example, if the director wanted it to be in the main characters point of view he would make the shot behind him or looking forward so the audience sees what the character sees. This would be a first person point of view.
Why use point of view shots?
Point of view shots are effective because they make shots seem more realistic for the audience. Having a point of view shot means the audience can see from a characters point of view which makes a scene more powerful. The audience will feel like they are their and can relate to what the character is feeling based on their point of view.
An example of a point of view shot:
As you can see, this is a first person point of view shot. This means that the audience will see what the person is seeing. It makes the scene more powerful by capturing what this person is seeing, the audience will feel the struggle of riding up the hill, they will feel the sun beaming down on them and imagine taking in the breathe taking scenery.
