Captain America

For this blog post, I will briefly discuss Point of View (POV). Specifically, an interesting POV that would be fun to capture. While I am sure that I would likely decide on a different genre if I were to actually create a film, for the sake of this blog post I will simply reference a film I recently watched, and discuss the shots that jumped out at me the most. The film was Captain America.
I do not recommend this film to anyone because it was extremely predictable and beyond cheese; However, as with any action/superhero film, we get to see a ton of epic POV.
As I was watching this film, the POV that stood out to me the most was what I would describe as: 'everyone else.'
What I mean is, the POV that was used to introduce Captain America in all of his power and glory etc. This POV appeared to remind the viewer that he was far inferior in every way to this newly created superhero and the camera angles used to creat this POV emphasized auora, amazement, admiration, and respect. The most used were:
MLS, MCU, CU, XCU; and, TONS OF LA (low angle) where they would start at Captain America's feet, and slowly move the camera view up his body to his big chest and courageous face. This must have been how all children viewed Captain America, their hero. Also, the low angle was frequently (if not always) to make Captain America seem larger than life, and also to make certain that he was the central, most important focus of the shot. I also noticed that if there was a chance that he would appear shorter than another character in a shot, it (the shot) was being filmed with a high angle, in order to distort that reality.
These types of film tricks are often used in film, and for these obvious reasons.
