A point of view shot (POV shot or a subjective camera)

Gaspar Noé, born in 1963, is an Argentina director and producer. He has made some seriously disturbing films during his comparatively short career. Also, He won several critical awards and festival acclaim for each of his works.  
Enter the Void is an experimental thriller film by Gaspar Noé. It riveted many audiences in different countries such as Cannes, Toronto.  
Enter the Void follows drug-dealing teen Oscar who, after being killed in Tokyo, watches over his sister from the otherworld. Story set in a neon nightclub environment of Tokyo. This throws the watcher into a surprising journey exploring life, death inside both beautiful and horrible moments. 
In the process of making ‘Enter the void’, they have spent a lot of time on the research at first. Thinking about a way of representing the distortions in the perception of this Point Of View as the character has visions and illusions. The main techniques used were to emphasise the depth of field and the different flickers. 
Different POVs have widely different looks and meanings and can give different emotions to the audience. The first-person shot (POV shot) is when we see everything subjectively from a character’s perspective. It includes the character's experiences, observations, thoughts, feelings and motivations. 
I referenced Gaspar Noé’s POV for my project 1B. I tried to film in my own point of view. I wanted my camera becomes myself to present the feelings and thoughts that I had. Also, I decided to express my bad eyesight. Therefore, most of the film does not have a focus. I use focus when I stay at a point and for a close object. Lastly, the screen is shaking a lot. I wanted the viewer to feel that I was walking or moving.
