Different Points of View

Chris Huntley describes the difference between Dramatica’s concept of “point-of-view” and the generally accepted novelist’s version:

The “point of view” used in telling a story, or what I like to call the writer’s voice, let’s the writer describe the four throughlines as if they were from different perspectives, but are not limited to the views available to those perspectives.

I’ve never really had a problem differentiating between the two but I know sometimes people are stubborn in their preconceived notions about writing.
