I was beginning to question whether or not these three different switches of POV that I am planning were actually going to look any good, and whether or not they would actually work. So I found moments in TV and Film that execute the idea that I would like to emulate in my work to see how they were executed and to what effect.

The first moment of inspiration I found was a moment in the film Meshes of the Afternoon ((M. Deren & A. Hammid, 1943, USA). The shot has been in first person for the first 2 minutes of the film, we then see the protagonist step into what we thought was still her own POV and we follow her feet up the stairs.

The first moment of my shot will emulate this idea, I was worried that this concept was going to be too confusing to execute but seeing how it worked in Meshes of the Afternoon has provided me with a bit more confidence.

The next moment I came across was a single shot in Boogie Nights (P.T. Anderson, 1997, USA). The film opens with long single shot following the protagonist through his club. The moment of this that I am interested in starts at 35 seconds in and goes until 50 seconds. In this shot the camera locks onto the protagonist from a far, tracks in and circles around him until the shot is in his POV. This is the same effect I want to utilize when changing POV to my second subject.

The final moment I found was from another long single shot, this time from a TV series, True Detective (N. Pizzolatto, 2014, USA). There is a six-minute single shot, and the moment that I am interested in is in the first 20 seconds. The entire shot is shown from Trust’s POV, as he goes through the house, we follow him. However in the first few seconds there is a moment that the camera tracks past Trust, to another character’s POV for just a moment before returning to Trust’s POV again. This is an interesting moment and is one of the only times I can recall seeing the POV change in one shot, which is what I am trying to execute. This moment particularly shows the effect I am trying to get with my final switch of POV.

Finding these shots has reassured me that what I am trying is in fact possible to do and in fact might just work out quite well.
