A point of view shot (also known as POV shot) is a short film scene that shows what a character is looking at via the camera. It is usually established by being positioned between a shot of a character looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction. The technique of POV is one of the basics of film editing.
Sometimes the point-of-view shot is taken over the shoulder of the character.
Here is a POV shot being used in a short clip:
