Shot Type (POV)

I watch a Tv programme called "Breaking Bad". Its an American programme about a Chemistry teacher who gets Lung Cancer. To pay for the expensive treatment he starts to cook crystal meth with an old student who is a dealer.

One of the signature shots of the programme is a POV shot from inside something, for example, a Bag or fridge. I thought that it would be a really good idea to incorporate this into our film opening. It doesn't conform with the conventions of post-apocalypse films, but it is a really good technique that keeps the audience interested and enthralled on the enigma which is vital for our film opening.
We are using it one 2 ocasions; one where the character puts a log towards the camera and the camera is inside the burner. The other is where the camer is inside a bag and the protagonist grabs it.
