Indeed. I bought the late Ken Campbell's eye, as a matter of fact. It sees POV breaks lovely thanks. 
POV as separate scene? Page 2
Quote: chipolata @ March 30 2010, 1:02 PM GMTI'm not sure there are many shows/films that are entirely POV shots.
The 1940s film noir, The Lady In The Lake, is entirely POV. It didn't, in my opinion, work.
But it worked brilliantly in Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up video.
Quote: Tim Walker @ March 30 2010, 1:18 PM GMTThe "engagement weekend" finale (series 3) where Mark takes Sophie to the Quantocks to propose, for example, does not fully stick to POV - i.e. when Mark and Jeremy are lost up the hillside. Although the majority of these scenes are Mark or Jeremy's POV, there are a few shots that break this rule. Go through any episode forensically and you will find the (very) occasional non-POV shot, though they tend to be brief and shot as hand-held so as to not be very noticeable.
I stand neglected!

Don't ever forget who your Daddy be, bitch. 
Well I never. All these years watching Peep Show and I never realised it was entirely POV. Is my face red.

No, I imagine it's distracting over the long haul. My favourite POV stuff is probably the sequence in Robocop where they're building Robo.

That is a good scene. Films are so much easier to write than sitcoms.

I f**king love that scene! In another world you and I could be lovers, Chip.

I thought that was this world?
Agree re: POV becoming potentially distracting, if not done carefully. The Prodigy clips that I YTed had me reaching for the 'back' button; even though The Prodigy are only challenged (in my mind) by The Chemical Brothers as THE kings of clubland.
