What are the elements of a POV structure that a shot planner must keep consistent, and what happens when one is changed?

Partially verified: the curator re-read none of the cited sources; S3 rests on the producer's pinned reading. Branigan's chapter (German translation) decomposes the POV structure into six elements: a point in space, a glance, a temporal transition, a camera placed at that point, the object, and a character who perceives. For each element he gives film examples where altering the element creates ambiguity or a different reading: too many points (Marienbad), a glance with no clear target (Psycho tray), a repeated object without the glance (Ozu), a camera that is not at the point (Ozu's Bakushu corridor), a tracking shot that is too fast for its character, and a corpse with closed eyes. The decomposition is a descriptive analysis by one scholar, not a tested design rule. Curator qualifications: Partially verified: the curator re-read none of the cited sources; S3 rests on the producer's pinned reading. Curator GET 2026-10-23 of the sources not re-read (mechanical source evidence, not semantic verification): S3: HTTP 200, bytes equal to the producer pin. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
