First Person Cameras

My peers and I also discussed several other different camera types that are used in videogames, we discussed 1st person cameras.  1st person cameras is whenever the camera put the player in the viewpoint of the games main character or characters, examples include the Call of Duty series, Outlast, Doom or the Far Cry series.  1st person cameras are commonly used in shooter games to the player having a better view of enemies when shooting.  In the majority games that use 1st person cameras there will be something like a gun or another item that will be focused on the bottom of the screen as if the player is seeing it from the main characters point of view.  However this is not always the case, games like Outlast in which the player does not have the options to use weapons will simply see the environment in its entirety from the main characters perspective without anything on screen, they will however be able to see the main characters arm reaching out for pickups like batteries.
