Point Of View – 3rd Multiple

Multiple third-person POV involves writing separate scenes from the viewpoints of each of your characters. The author must stay in one character’s head for the entire scene and maintain proper POV rules, such as not relaying to the reader what the thoughts of the opposite character are.

Point Of View – 3rd Limited

Third-person limited is the point of view in writing that uses a narrator with access to only one character’s perspective. This means that the narrator experiences one character’s emotions and internal thoughts and perceives any surrounding characters through their eyes as an observer. Third-person limited allows for a story to develop around the central character without revealing every detail of what’s happening to the narrator.

Point Of View – 3rd Omniscient

The term omnis is Latin for all while scire meant to know. In third-person omniscient POV, the story is told by an all-knowing narrator who isn’t a character in the story. The narrator can investigate the minds of every character and tell us what they’re thinking and feeling. He can also see into the future and the past and move freely from one location to another

Point Of View – 3rd Objective

In objective POV—also known as cinematic, impersonal, or camera-eye POV—the narrator stays outside the characters’ minds and reveals only what a camera could record. Readers might feel like a fly on the wall: they see the action and hear the dialogue, but they never get to look inside any character.

Point Of View – 1st

One popular point of view is the first person. It is often used in young adult novels to foster reader-protagonist bonding. Aside from being simple to use and compose, the primary character narrator should always be prejudiced due to their restricted perception skills. Without contact, this point of view does not fully comprehend the events and other characters.
