Multiple first and third (advanced)

- Welcome to the first of our advanced lectures…in this section on point of view.…- This is a lecture for those of you…who want to delve a little deeper into point of view…and to learn about a couple more options available to you…when you're considering who should tell your story.…- In the last two lectures, we looked at first person…and third person points of view.…- We talked about how first person and close third person…really allow an intimacy with the main character.…We're able to see and feel the world…through their perspective.…- However, the one disadvantage of first…and close third person is that you're stuck…in the head of only one character.…

In other words, you don't have access…to other characters' perspectives.…- Of course, you could choose to narrate your story…or book from an omniscient third person point of view.…Remember, this is the all-knowing point of view,…which we discussed earlier.…- But this can be a tricky point of view to work with.…It's easy to confuse who is thinking what…and who is seeing what.…
