POV (Point of View)
The main objective is to make a short film telling a story from the perspective of the main character. The camera will be the eyes of a person or creature.
Examples
• The people will react to the camera as if it were the being it is made to represent. • For example, if the camera were looking through the eyes of a dog, it would be low to the ground, stop to sniff and pay particular attention to food. • The theme of your movie could include the camera being someone famous (past or present), a person really out of place in the school like Ronald McDonald, or an animal (what would a goat do in the building) and what would he be interested in.
Plot
• Your movie needs to have a point; the POV needs to have motivation for its actions. • For example, he could be looking for something, trying to solve a mystery or have observed something he can help with.
