-First person is almost always used to intensify a persons experience and putting the audience in the scene.
-You mentioned the movie example; do you have any other examples?
-For video games, there are shooter games, in which you feel as if you are part of the action, which is part of why they are so successful, and for pictures I have this picture of a gun being pointed at the viewer which gives the viewer a real shock. I also have another picture of the edge of the Empire State building in which you see straight down.
