Point of View Shot

A point of view shot in film is used to see what the subject/character in a TV show is looking at, represented by the camera, slightly similar to an over the shoulder shot, followed by the subjects reaction.  A point of view shot is ultimately viewed from the subject or character's perspective, made to give the viewer a glimpse of what the character is seeing which adds a sense of realism to the scene in which the viewer can possibly relate to the subject if the scene is dramatic or tense. An example of a point of view shot would be especially in a horror film, a look of fright on the subjects face which is then followed by what the subject is looking at, be it a ghost or the killer.
Here is an example from The Peep Show
