The article discusses the evolution and misuse of the term 'POV' in social media video content. It highlights the inconsistencies between the typical cinematic usage of 'point of view' shots and its current trends, where creators use the term to describe scenes that do not authentically represent a character's perspective. Examples include various scenarios where the identified 'POV' does not align with whose perspective is actually being portrayed. The author raises questions about media literacy among younger generations in understanding these distinctions.
The current use of 'POV' in social media videos diverges from traditional cinematic perspective, often presenting a confusing and misleading view of the action being depicted.
Unlike traditional P.O.V. shots, which allow viewers to experience through the eyes of a character, many social media interpretations seem disconnected from the intended perspective.
