Point of View and Over the Shoulder shot

Point of View shot (POV): A point of view shot is shown from the perspective of a particular character. This can be popular with the audience as it makes them feel like they're in the characters position so they can think how they'd react. Which is why directors use this often in horror or thriller films.









Over the Shoulder: An over the shoulder shot is useful in dialogue scenes, in which one actor is photographed head-on from over the shoulder of another actor. This shot allows the audience to an insight into what the main character is seeing from his point of view which adds realism to the shot as the audience adopt this characters view.
