Characteristics - Socially Conscious and Humanistic POV

Italian Neorealism focuses on bring a film to live, to make it look realistic, so that audiences can see how it feels like to be in the actor’s shoes, since the actors are not professionals, the expression shown would look more realistic.

Camera angle form POV (Point of View) is used in order to show the detail seen form the first person so that audience would know how “real” it is like and how the environment is like from the actor’s point of view.
