9 Most Worth Watching Films Shot Using a Subjective Camera (First Person)
Many films use this approach, many have many scenes shot from the eyes of the character, but I will talk about films that were entirely shot in this manner.
Thanks for watching!
Maybe you have some favorite “first-person” films??

Well, I don’t pretend to be an expert in the film industry, but a subjective camera and POV are still different things. And their goals are different.
I’m certainly not a world-famous expert here, but “Found footage” (Found footage, that is, “Reports” and so on) and “Pov” (I mean, “Hardcore” and others) are types of mockumentary, so all the same, the things are rather different, because they use different methods of influencing the viewer and pursue different goals. So shove “Hardcore” into these “Witches” and “Monstros” of ours – mix the warm and the soft a little.
Why is everyone pushing https://roulettetv.co.uk/ “Monstro” into “first-person films”? Where is the “first person”?? Although, judging by the tags, your entire selection is about “mockumentaries”, and not POV films.
With a fairy tale with a cake, I tried to convey why Cloverfield cannot be called a “first-person” film; I don’t understand what oil painting and Suprematism have to do with genres, techniques and means.
Look, to put it simply, I meant that Oil painting is one of the painting techniques, so?) And Suprematism is an avant-garde movement, so? It’s just that, in my opinion, there is a substitution of concepts, filming techniques and film genre. That’s all.) And I’m not trying to insert “difficult” words, I’m just calling them by their proper names. Well, why write (a movement in avant-garde art) if you can use one word, it’s easier) That’s all.
What is the fundamental difference between a “subjective camera” and pov in terms of the method of influencing the viewer, the essence of the effect, the technique? What are the different Goals, other than to evoke at the right moment the most acute sympathy of the viewer for the hero who finds himself in some situation?? Despite the theme, the plot, it makes no difference how these methods differ if the result is the same? Formality of the category? How warm and soft?
And how long did you endure the thought that “it’s the camera, it’s not me” when you watched, for example, “The Blair Witch Project” for the first time? That this was filmed by someone… a long time ago… pseudo-documentary, some foreigner made it… and in general this is a film and everything in it was filmed. I give my hand to cutting off that you liked it, precisely because you sympathized with the characters, and precisely because you understood the situation. What helped you with this was handheld camera shooting, imitating the eyes of the hero in this story at this moment (complicated), and his eyes were worth five rubles, after the middle of the film.
Subjective camera is a technique, the essence of which is to film what is happening through the eyes of the hero. The viewer does not see the recording from the camera that the hero wears (and even more so – static, as in “paranormal activity”) – he sees exactly what the hero sees, and nothing else. An actor is not a cameraman, he is a camera.
Like all artistic cinema. Just like art in general. No, really, what is art if not an attempt to understand something about our reality (for this is the only thing we humans have) and convey it to the viewer using artistic means?
POV, t.e. First-person cinema is a film that simulates the view from the eyes of the hero. "Hardcore" is a prime example of this. And “mockumentary” is when, instead of professional operators with cool units on wheels with stabilizers and the like, the camera is given into the hands of actors who run around, shake it at random, and so on, creating a heightened sense of the reality of what is happening. But this is just a camera placed in context, and not “first person”.
Let me give you an example, like for a first grader. Look: there’s cake. There is a cake in front of you, you take it and eat it. This is first person. Now imagine that there is a photograph of a cake hanging on the wall in front of you… Then, I hope, you’ll figure it out yourself.
I don’t understand how it was filmed then?) The narration is from a person with a camera, t.e. in first person, or I did not understand your question? This move is called a subjective camera.
