POINT OF VIEW

Point of View ~ P.O.V. Definition: The position from which something or someone is observed; a perspective.

Objective Subjective POINT OF VIEW SCALE

In both fiction and non-fiction narratives (storytelling), the point of view tells us who is telling the story as well as whose story is being told. Literary narration includes: First-person singular (‘I’) First-person plural (‘we’) Second-person (‘you’) Third-person (‘he/she’) - objective, subjective, and omniscient Also - the “Unreliable Narrator”

“You are not the kind of guy who would be at a place like this at this time of the morning. But here you are, and you cannot say that the terrain is entirely unfamiliar, although the details are fuzzy.” – Bright Lights, Big City, Jay McInerney “Finally, here are some questions about ourselves and the world: How can we be sure that the world is really like we take it to be? What is knowledge, and how much do we have?” – Think, Simon Blackburn "I could picture it. I have a rotten habit of picturing the bedroom scenes of my friends. We went out to the Cafe Napolitain to have an aperitif and watch the evening crowd on the Boulevard." – The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway. “The old priest tottered exhaustedly into his little house and closed himself into the bathroom. Washed his face, his hands, dried them carefully and slowly with a soft hand towel.” – The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse, Louise Erdrich

Motion pictures also employ points of view in their narrative forms. What are some examples of the following in film/tv/video? First-person = one main protagonist around whom the story revolves and is in almost every scene Second-person = instructional programs addressed directly to the viewer Third-person = 2 main characters, certain documentaries

Polyphonic Narrative: A story told from several points of view. Authors known for using this style include William Faulkner, Dostoevsky, and Barbara Kingsolver. One examples of a polyphonic motion pictures is Citizen Kane. What are some other examples?

In media production, “P.O.V.” refers to a shot or a sequence of shots that represent what a particular character is seeing. In a P.O.V. shot, the camera is placed in the position of the character’s eyes, so that what the audience sees is what the character would be seeing.
