What does it mean if a filmmaker has a "conceptual point of view"?
And could you provide examples of a conceptual point of view from the role of a filmmaker.

share'Conceptual point of view' sounds like a bullshit term used by losers with no script and no motivation
If a guy has an idea and a camera then let him fire away
Fancy talk is worthless talk
^ Your response isn't helpful. The poster is probably asking for help with homework or an essay. I would say you might want to Google the phrase "conceptual point of view in filmmaking" or look at your textbook for class, or possibly ask your professor for clarification on what the definition is. Good luck! I might use Google too later to see if I can find the answer to your question but you should not delay writing or looking yourself as well.
share'Conceptual Point of View' means something where you're from???
Do you live in Dorksville?
Baloney!!
Unless you are some lame intellectual bore, and trust me we have had several of those here before, you cannot possibly use the term 'Conceptual Point of View' without sounding like a huge dumbass
It's a BS term and you know it
The OP is obviously asking for help for his homework :-| Nobody would ask that question and ask for examples as well unless his professor told him to find at least 3 examples lol. Saying "derp derp only a loser would blah blah blah" doesn't actually answer his question. It achieves absolutely nothing. If you have nothing to add, just move along. Keep it moving :)
"And trust me we've had plenty of those on here as well" omggg, honest? Wow, you're so cool. You've had such a rich history on these here boards. Thank you for guarding the boards for us, for we the people.
Amen, Shogie! That guy sounds like he does live in Dorksville.
😎
Wow, you guys are really sitting at the back of the class throwing spitballs or whatever you do back there.
Way to go for putting down intelligent things you don’t understand.
Wow! Way to go by being an arrogant douche who thinks he's better than everyone else!
😎
And “arrogant douche who thinks he’s better than everyone else” is redundant.
You’re welcome.
Oooh, I stand in awe of your amazing intellectual superiority. You know, you're really an irritating person, and kind of an ass.
😎
Ha😉!

Well said and touche, Shogie!

You misused the term touché in a thread in which you and your cohorts are calling intellectuals dumbasses.
I have no doubt that the irony is completely lost on you.
There you go again, being arrogant. You just can't help yourself, can you?
😎
Can't help being a person who isn't so dim that they think anything I said is high brow? No.

Get a life, loser. Lord you're boring and arrogant!

I’ll bet you’re at least 70, yet you have the intellect of an 8 year old and the emotional maturity level of a toddler. Coming here where a simple question was asked - which threatened you, because you didn’t understand it, and going on and on and on saying nothing at all of any value whatsoever, but simply projecting your own insecurities onto others who mentally outpace you by leaps and bounds - for no other reason than to harass those who took the OP seriously. It’s not arrogant to say that because your brain is an atrophied, toxic ball of mush.
Of course your immaturity will compel you to get the last word. Here’s what it will be the equivalent of: “yur a loser cuz yur smarter than me.”
😳 🤔🙄 Hah!
share“From a conceptual point of view climbing a mountain is easy: you just have to put one foot after the next until you reach the top. In reality it can be quite challenging to climb mountains as you have to worry about frost bit and altitude sickness and a myriad of of other problems from blisters to avalanches”
🤔😳Conceptual POV....for those who can’t see beyond their noses....can’t see the forest for the trees.
I see what you mean but it doesn't really make sense from the role of the filmmaker.
share....for those who can't see beyond their noses....can't see the forest for the trees.
db! Just today I was wondering where you’ve been! Happy to “see” you. ☺️ As usual you best me. But, I will toss back. “....not preoccupied with details.”
Would not “can’t see the forest for the trees” be “not preoccupied with details”? I would say it’s all relative.
Actually, it's you who bested me and I'm the one who had it somewhat turned around. Yes, all things are relative. Would you agree that " thinking outside the box" pretty much explains a conceptual point of view?
shareI can’t say that it does. From what I understand a person with a conceptual point of view has tunnel vision. S/he only sees what’s before them...they can’t or won’t deviate. They see with simplicity...not “thinking outside the box”. We’ve all dealt with a customer service rep who sticks within the guidelines....no give. They cannot think outside the box.
Case in point: If I stop at DQ to buy a hot fudge sundae and request it be given in a drink cup instead of the awkward plastic 2 piece plastic container...they are befuddled! They are trained to use the 2 piece plastic container instead of a drink cup (which is more costly to them, btw). It throws them off the guidelines. What do they do? They make the sundae in the 2 piece container, hand me a drink cup so I can put the sundae into the drink cup! You may say that is thinking outside the box. No, they still made the sundae in the domed 2 piece container! That is their conceptional POV, which in the end was more costly. They can’t see the whole picture.
You're avoiding the question.
shareHello knish, I tried to use Google to find the answer but it's hard for me to understand exactly what you need. Because I think the term "conceptual point of view" is a bit vague. If this is for homework, then most likely the exact definition of conceptual point of view would have been discussed in class, along with examples as well. Do you have tutoring in your school for the subject you're writing for? You might want to ask somebody. If you want to write your professor a polite email you could ask like this: "Hello Professor. I'm in your (insert name of class here) at (insert time of class). I'm having trouble understanding the exact definition of "conceptual point of view." Could you help me understand the explantation? I know we went over it in class but it seems a bit vague to me. Thank you! I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
shareHey, thanks for your reply.
This is not for homework, but I was watching "Vincent Gallo versus the critics" on youtube. At 18:40 he starts talking about a "conceptual point of view".
The reason I didn't mention Vincent Gallo is because most people here don't care for him and I didn't want to have that discussion again.
Who's Vincent Gallo?
shareIt means the person saying it doesn't have anything nice to say about the filmmaker but doesn't want to say anything bad.
shareMaybe s/he is committed to abandoning formulaic filmmaking and pursuing a work that expresses concepts that don’t follow a linear pattern of storytelling.
One concept could be stream of consciousness. Watch some Fellini movies.
David Lynch’s films are also great examples of stream of consciousness filmmaking.
Although, I was thinking that a conceptual POV could also work in the opposite definition. I could have a concept for a film that I want to appeal to the largest audience possible and so I make a movie that follows standard story telling with all of the elements of contemporary movies that become popular.
If this is for a class then it was probably defined for you already. But to be honest, “conceptual point of view” is an extremely broad description that could include everything under the sun.
Does it play with the actual concept of idealism ?
