CAMERA ANGLES: the Art of Manipulation As the name suggests, point-of-view shots are angles in which the camera incorporates a character’s eyes. POVs are usually preceded by a close-up of the character’s eyes.

The video camera iris works in basically the same way as a still camera iris -- as you open the iris, more light comes in and the picture appears brighter.The difference is that with video cameras, the picture in the viewfinder changes brightness as the iris is adjusted.otice how bright the picture is, then set the iris to manual. Most cameras will retain the same exposure as set by the auto-function, which you can adjust from there as you go. Open and close the iris, then try to set the exposure where it was before.
