POINT OF VIEW (2010)



This short film is produced, shot and edited by Doug Smith who is a film student. It is self-funded and doesn't cost much as it uses cameras he owns and doesn't use any extra props.

The film is a sort of 'day in the life' type film which is shot only using POV shots. It is extremely simple as there is no dialogue, one soundtrack and only 2 actors at most. The narrative is not interesting as there aren't any events that take place, however this was not the aim of the film. The audience is involved very directly in this short due to the use of the POV shots, this is a powerful way of filming however it isn't used to be powerful in this case as it is more of an experimental film.

I liked this short film however when making a short film I would like to have a clearer narrative so that the film can follow more of a story. However this short has shown me that using different methods of camera work definitely makes the film more interesting for the audience to watch.
