What term refers to a B-roll shot filmed from the subject's perspective, showing what the subject sees?

• A. POV or Point-of-View Shot
• B. Promotional shot
• C. Wide Shot
• D. Over-the-Shoulder Shot

Answer: (A)

Capturing footage from the viewer’s point of view is called a POV shot. It uses the camera as the subject’s eyes, so you see exactly what the subject would see. This creates a subjective, immersive experience for the audience, making them feel as if they’re sharing the point of view of the person on screen. That’s why it’s often used for first‑person moments or action sequences and can serve as useful B‑roll to bridge scenes.

The other options don’t fit the perspective idea: a promotional shot is aimed at marketing, a wide shot captures a broad view from a distance, and an over-the-shoulder shot shows the scene from behind the subject’s shoulder rather than the subject’s own view.
