We need to SHUT DOWN tiktok until someone teaches everyone on there the correct usage of "POV"
A POV is filmed from the perspective of a person, as if you are living their life and seeing out of their eyes. The POV is of the person who you are standing in the place of.
So. "POV ants all over your hands" would have hands coming in from the bottom and side of the frame with ants on them, as if they are your hands.
"POV an ant cleans you" Would have a ant liking the camera lens.
They really are very good at taking a thing purely in aesthetic conceptualization, and getting it so wrong in such a basic way.
Reminds me of the cohort that botched what a ratio was on Twitter through enough repetitive botching, where they thought it was 'A retort that gets more replies than the original', pure aesthetic observation creating a model of what it meant, never realizing the source was 'a post getting more replies than likes because everyone had to take a crack at that boobus'
@futurebird This seems obvious to me. How could this be misunderstood. This concept has been around since the beginning of film making. I blame social media for creating an avalanche of enthusiastic idiots.
@futurebird Rofl, I sort of want to know the context for this as someone who wouldn't touch TikTok with a ten foot pole. Attached to another ten foot pole. Operated by remote bomb defuser.
@futurebird If you go by history, I'd say this one's already lost. In 10 years the word "Pov" will be in the dictionary meaning "An exhortation to watch a brief performance. Typically accompanied by a description of said performance."
People complained when "nice" stopped meaning "stupid," they complained when people stopped using "thou," they complained when "ain't" wound up in the dictionary and they still complain when "literally" means "virtually," but that's just how language works. 🤷♀️
