And can't you learn someone's story by simply being around them, instead of forcing them to *speak*?
Still, you need some perspective, balance, shape in the vid/painting.
Yup! And I'm arguing that it's called 'intent' rather than POV 'cause POV implies narrative.
But you need to have some tools/technique or approach that helps the viewer to understand what you (aka the vid aka the painting) is saying or the mood you are trying to create, otherwise, you're doing Pollack or Picasso style painting -- and that style is much harder for someone to absorb in an only 3-5 minute space of time.
Yes, and I think that by restricting 'intent' to narrative terms restricts the tool-box you have available to convey information.
I would argue that keeping a narrative structure or POV (in vids with lyrics) helps the viewer absorb your meaning/goal/intent better.
And I don't disagree with this argument, I'm just saying that it's not the *only* way. POV isn't necessary, it's arbitrary.

dude, I feel like I'm arguing against my parents. ::wry grin:: or for women's lib.
