I have been looking at shots from the first person Point of View. It was interesting exercise to just grab my phone and film myself doing a mundane task to see how the technique of filming in first person POV works. I found that it was an interesting way to capture information but the way I did it was pretty boring.

I found a shot from the movie Halloween and I found that that shot was interesting and the first person POV was used well.

I think the reason that my shot was boring, was because of what was pictured, the lighting of the shot and the fact that there was no music or story, there was really no reason for the shot to be made. The major thing I learnt from shooting this shot is: when shooting in first person POV it is not so important to capture what you are actually seeing, it is more important to get what it looks like you should be seeing. For example, I am quite short so I think the shot looks a bit funny, as it is not from an average height, therefore is not what an audience would expect to see. This little exercise made me want to play with the idea of first person POV and with the option of the subject walking into they’re own POV.
