	Point of view shot -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		A point of view shot (also known as POV shot) is a short scene in a film that shows what a character is looking at.
		A POV (A solid missile discharged from a firearm) shot need not be the strict point of view of an actual single character in a film.
		Sometimes the point of view shot is taken over the shoulder of the character, who remains visible on the screen.

	Wikipedia:Neutral point of view - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To write from a neutral point of view, one presents controversial views without asserting them; to do that, it generally suffices to present competing views in a way that is more or less acceptable to their adherents, and also to attribute the views to their adherents.
		A good way to help building a neutral point of view is to find a reputable source for the piece of information you want to add to wikipedia, and then cite that source.
		Is this contrary to the neutral point of view?

		We said that the neutral point of view is not, contrary to the seeming implication of the phrase, some actual point of view that is "neutral," or "intermediate," among the different positions.
		Those who constantly attempt to advocate their views on politically charged topics (for example), who seem not to care about whether other points of view are represented fairly, are violating the non-bias policy ("write unbiasedly").
		Isn't this contrary to the neutral point of view?

	Film Basics
		Point of view shot is often associated with shot-countershot or shot-reverse shot.
		This empathy is created through point of view shots from the character’s physical angle of vision viewing what that character sees from the same approximate distance the character would be seeing whatever is being looked at in the point of view shot.
		This shot may be an aerial shot taken from the air (from an airplane, helicopter, camera operator in a parachute, or a camera mounted on a crane)--which would also be a high angle shot (shot from above).

		The point of view shot is extremely common in classical narrative and is where a character looks at something, and then we are shown what they are looking at, more or less from their point of view.
		It usually is not, strictly, from the character's point of view (all those shots where we see the shoulder of the character from behind as they talk to someone are known as point of view shots for instance), but the shot is understood to be motivated, and justified, by the character having looked.
		Point of view is also utilised during the famous breakfast table sequence from Citizen Kane, however this sequence is also interesting because of the transition from its ostensible narrator (Joseph Cotton) to the narrated sequence.

		The mostly inanimate shots evoke a sense that the camera is a lifeless window that the viewer is looking through, not that the viewer is actually seeing the images directly with his or her own eyes.
		This is a long shot and long take in which the characters’ facial expressions are unrecognizable simply because of the distance, yet the general movements of the characters and their voices are used to create tension.
		Long shots and long takes provide enough time for the audience to examine scenes and absorb the mise-en-scene as though the shots were a series of photographs that linger on the screen yet contain a narrative.

	The Point of Point of View
		Point of view is the lens, the focus through which the story is transmitted.
		Point of view can make a good story great or make a great story merely good.
		The hybrid point of view tries to meld these two perspectives by doing away with the omniscient narrative voice and replacing it with a close third person perspective that constantly changes, "hopping" from head to head, showing us the inner thoughts and feelings of multiple characters at once (or in quick succession).

		Described as "an edgy suspense story about obsession, art, eroticism and murder", Point of View is an interactive movie from the same stable and very much in the same vein as Tender Loving Care.
		Although the movie is well acted, and nicely shot, and the script stays within the bounds of believability, there is something missing.
		Point of View is a more polished product in many ways, but it is less interesting as a result.

	dOc DVD Review: Point of View (2001)
		Point of View falls prey to the primary limitation of interactive entertainment - it's not enough of a movie to engage the viewer in the cinematic sense, but there's not enough interactivity to make it seem like a game.
		Point of View was shot on Digital Betacam video, using natural lighting in many scenes, in order to keep costs down.
		Point of View is an interesting attempt at a more serious, adult style of "interactive movie." It does several things well, and DVD International is to be commended for pushing the envelope, but we've yet to see proof that the genre will ever work.

		Also, the high number of subjective point of view shots in the film is justified by the themes of identity, subjectivity and the relation of the individual to society that the film explores.
		Second, by 'occupying' this point of view initially the film suggests a degree of complicity between us and Jekyll; as if the specificity of his fate and strange preoccupations might be not so far removed from our own.
		The use of subjective point of view shots is perhaps the most effective of these devices, but others compete for prominence elsewhere in the film.
