We've talked about character viewpoint in written fiction. That's pretty fundamental, because fiction is created out of words-- words of description and thought and feeling, and it's usually a character doing the describing, etc.  Now let's examine how POV works in a very visual medium.

There are 3 main conflicts in fiction:

External (outside) conflict

Internal (inside) conflict

Interactional (relationship) conflict.

We're talking about the interactional kind-- the conflict that changes relationships in your story.

Here we discuss "the most important nod in film". Oh, and "the greatest singalong in film." Same scene!  

This is the La Marseillaise scene from Casablanca, where:

• Rick defies the Nazis
• Laszlo risks his life to sing a song
• Ilsa remembers why she loves her husbands
• The Nazis back down (just for once), then double down
• Captain Renault says a funny.

Watch the video here, and then the discussion will make more sense.

La Marseillaise scene from Casablanca

We'll talk about why this is so great, why it's a point of no return, and how it is structured to show Rick's return  from his alienation.

"Found footage" refers to material, evidence, diaries, cassette tapes-- well, you'll have to listen! For story-writers, found footage can be a clever device to add a "meta" or postmodern layer to the story. Think of "Bridges of Madison County," which is a novel that pretends to be the "found footage" of a mother's journal. We'll discuss some examples and aspects of this complex plot element.

We're discussing how to make your setting more than just a backdrop where your characters to move around-- but an actual living and changing element in the story.
