# Point of view (POV)

Camera / Angle / Viewpoint. Checked 2026-10-13.

The viewer becomes the person and sees through their eyes.

- Use when: Creator-style demos, first-person product use, what my day looks like.
- Phrase: point-of-view shot, the camera is her eyes, her own hands visible at the bottom of the frame holding the product

## Watch out

- Give the viewpoint a reason: this is taken from her own chair, the camera is her eyes, she is not in the picture. A motivated viewpoint holds where a ban is ignored. (measured; Director Chair field notes on image prompting)
- A hand that enters from the side gets a body attached. Let the hands enter from the bottom edge. (measured; Director Chair field notes on image prompting)
