Point of view is simply what character's point of view we are watching a film from. Who's story is it about. I shot the same scene and did 2 different edits, each favoring a different character. Although the scene is the same, and the actors performances are the same, the edit makes the viewer sympathize and connect with the characters differently.

That's a Point of View shot. Story telling is always done from a specific character's point of view. Granted it can change in a scene, but rarely is a movie from an omniscient perspective.

agreed, editing the same clips in different ways can and will change the way we perceive a given scene. By the way, what was this shot on. I looks like it was done on a dslr, but seems very videoish like. Maybe it's the high sharpening, high contrast look of the clips.
It was shot on a Panasonic HMC 150
