POV shot

POV shot is short for a point of view shot. It is pretty much as you would expect, it is the view of the character as you would see it through their eyes, it can also be of an object. This can help the viewer share the emotions of the character and see the scenes as they are actually there.

Here is an example of the point of view shot being used in a film. This is the introduction clip from The Naked Gun 2. The point of view is from the roof of the police car showing everything around it. This is the type of shot that is used in a POV.
