POV (Point of View)

There are many ways in life an individual can read or watch an item and can have the same perspective and feel that the main character is undergoing, by projecting through the characters eyes.  In many films and books the first point of view aspect can either contrast the main character or the narrator who knows about all the characters and can take the viewer through a moment in the shoes of the character. There are many advantages of having POV in either a movie or in a story as it engages the audience/reader in a different manner and keeps the viewer in suspense through out due to the realistic feel of the first person point of view. Personally since i have been brought up watching movies/music videos that engage us with the first person view, i believe that can intrigue a viewer and grabbing there attention as you may want to know what is going to happen next, because everybody once in there life, would admit in wishing they were in someone else’s shoes for a while, if it’s either your favorite super hero,singer,character etc. Kanye West’s music video for “All Falls Down” (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=T7KnBnlqOv4) is a famous music video that portrays the first person point of view concept that originated from the director Dziga Vertov in “Man With a Camera” a 1929 movie that used a variety of camera angles and a range of different shots that was being introduced to the world and used in most Hollywood and Bollywood movies. Vertov was the first to introduce the effects to cinema back in 1929, with different camera angles that seemed impossible to produce.
