On of the definitions, though, and not the most popular usage of it in the fandom and school circles that I've been mostly moving around in, with perhaps the exception of vidding fandom where I got totally confused.
Does it matter to me that most viewers do not get that was my intent? Not at all. Most viewers get what they bring to the vid but that does not affect the actual POV of the vid. That is their watching experience.
::nodnodnod:: that's what I was talking about in my post that I linked to too. I'm saying in it that I don't call vid or vidder's POV "Point of View", I call it authorial intent because to call it Point of View implies narrative.
If you have an organizing concept - THAT is POV. That is all POV is. You are just calling it something else. This is semantics.
Exactly, it *is* semantics, and I argued in the post I linked to that it's important to distinguish it because calling it POV when the term itself is both confusing and restricting is sometimes not so good.
