A point-of-view shot, also known as a POV shot, first-person shot, or subjective camera, is a film technique where the camera is positioned to show what a certain character is seeing from their perspective. While traditional establishing shots, wide shots, medium shots, and close-ups offer an objective perspective of the scene, a POV shot offers a subjective point of view.
