Point of view shot

Definition of a point of view shot: This shot shows a view from the subject's perspective. It is usually edited in such a way that it is obvious whose point of view it is. What they are seeing with their own eyes is represented by what the camera shoots. It is usually established by being positioned between a shot of a character looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction. Example of a point of view shot:




This shot is used here to emphasise that Oswin has discovered that she is really a dalek as her point of view shot is seen through a daleks' eye. This helps to give the audience an understanding of what is going on.
