Point of view shot

A pov shot is made from a camera position close to the line of sight of the character so it shows what the character is looking at.

as you see with this clip the pov shots are done as if the camera is the person , this technique is good because it makes you feel like you are apart of the film as if your in the possession of the character which means the audience identify with the character.A POV shot doesn’t have to be a strict point-of-view of a single character like the clip above ,sometimes they use a shot over the shoulder of the character

if you have a look 11 seconds in you see the character pushed to the wall and you can see the side of the head of the person who pushed him. this over the shoulder pov shot makes you feel your in the scene. unlike the first pov shot it doesn't put you in the possession of the character but rather puts you in the scene and makes you feel like your next to the characters
