Blog Post #13- POV shots

 Sometimes when you watch a film you have probably wondered what the movie looks like in the characters point of view. In films there is a shot that allows the audience to see what the character is seeing in the film as if they were the character in the film. This shot is called a POV shot. A POV shot allows the audience to have a better idea of what exactly the character is looking at in the film and what the character is feeling. An example of when a director would use a POV shot is if the director wanted to show the audience a character performing a significant action that has an impact on the film.

In my film I will be using POV shots. My first POV shot will be when the antagonist of my story is stealing valuables from a house. This scene will be paired with an over the shoulder shot in order to show the characters body language while stealing these valuables and letting the audience be able to see what the valuables are and see what the character is seeing from their point of view. My second POV shot that I will be using will be a POV shot of the protagonist of my film looking at the antagonist escaping his house. This POV shot will be used in order to show the audience that the protagonist is aware that his house has been robbed and the criminal has escaped.

This is because having better production skills can make a film better and more entertaining. Without good production skills, a film may not look very realistic, and a film might not be as entertaining as it was originally intended to be.   Production skills can range from anything between having good camera shots, having costuming that fits with the character s role, adding proper score and sound effects, recreating sounds as re alistic as possible with foley, and having props that fit with the storyline.   My production skills have developed in beneficial ways while working on this project. Before filming my project, I originally didn't have much thought on the importance of score in films and before I filmed, I thought I wasn't going to use score. After filming my op ening scene, I...
