Multiple points of view

Multiple points of view is an editing technique in which a single event in a film is filmed from many different camera angles giving the effect of different 'points of view' in the scene. Multiple points of view focuses on one piece of action but seeing from many vantage points making it seem like we are looking through a characters eyes.

An example of multiple points of view is the final poker scene in Casino Royale, with the remaining four players and dealer at the table surrounded by many spectators. As the scene goes on the camera cuts to many shots from what the characters are seeing, like when the dealer places the cards we see the cards from a slightly diagonal birds eye view as if we were looking down as the dealer.
