Sridhar Kumar Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I know what POV is but I don't know what optical POV is. In one of the book I am reading, it analyzes Alfred Hitchcock's movie Shadow of a Doubt. Context: "Throughout the film, Hitchcock uses optical point of view, often allowing the audience to share Young Charlie’s vantage point." Is optical POV the same as POV or slightly different?

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted April 29, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted April 29, 2017 No, same thing. Seems redundant to say "optical" point of view (isn't all vision optical?) unless as a means of saying that the shot is a literal point of view and not from some sort of emotional perspective.
