Point of View, as the Anchor Defines It

Captions available

The idea

The glossary gives point of view as the stance from which the storyteller or narrator tells the story. Stance is a position, so the question is always where the telling voice is standing in relation to the events. That position controls what can be reported.

In practice

A position, and what it can see.

Where people slip

Position determines the evidence available.
