French term

Vue subjective

French to English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama Film scenario (documentary)
Vue subjective d’une boîte aux lettres. Une main s’approche et l’ouvre. Elle l’ouvre encore. Vue subjective depuis la fenêtre : le facteur dépose du courrier dans la boîte.

This is something to do with the filming sequence so there might be a specific term for it. It is the scenario for a documentary.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

another term which escapes me, but someone else is sure to come up with it...

POV or Point of View

I did a film and television production and direction course (Hollywood method) and I think this is what this term refers to. It means as viewed by an actor in the scene as opposed to from the the 4th wall, i.e. the spectator. The camera takes the POV of a character. This is subjective (the subject) as opposed to objective (the spectator.
