POV and Over the Shoulder Shots

POV (Point of View) Shots:
POV shots are not the most commonly used shots in film and TV. They are used to show the perspective of characters or objects in the world or to hide the identity of specific characters. These are most commonly used in horror films to show the perspective of the creature/murderer approaching a character.


Over the Shoulder Shots:
Over the shoulder shots are commonly used in conversation. This is because it allows the viewer to see the person talking from the perspective of the other person while keeping them in shot. These shots are also used to hide the identity of speakers in conversation or to show an object in the hands of a character.
