Notes:
-
Red numbered positions on the
map indicate almost all the locations of exterior shots seen in Point
of View.
-
Omissions are the locations
where: Jane photocopies her pictures of Frank in chapter 3; Frank
speaks to the audience in his chapter 4 Encounter; and Peter makes his
first telephone call to Jane in chapter 5. For information about
these locations, please consult my 2002 interview
with PoV director David Wheeler as I could not identify them at the
time of my trip to Vancouver in late 2001.
-
The precise locations of interior
only scenes, namely those that take place at: the New York photographer's
studio; Jane and Mary's workplace; the police station; Mary's home; Mr.
Barnes' home; and Peter's home may be found only within my 2002 interview
with PoV director David Wheeler as I could not identify them at the
time of my trip to Vancouver in late 2001. If PoV was reality rather
than fiction, it would be logical to assume that the relevant police station
would be the one situated at the corner of Main and Cordova Streets.
-
Landmarks often seen in the
distance, such as the "saucer" topped Harbour Centre, are the main reason
for the existence of the left side of the map. That side also places
the PoV exterior locations in their geographical context of Vancouver's
Gastown and Downtown East Side districts.
-
Stanley Park (mentioned in one
of Mary's chapter 3 diary entries) is located almost two kilometres to
the north west of the top left hand corner of this map.
-
Federico's Supper Club (site
of the wrap party seen in the PoV DVD's "making of" special) is located
over a kilometre to the south east of the bottom right hand corner of this
map.
For detailed pictorial
and textual information, please consult the subsections under the Locations
heading. They are presented in the order in which they appear in
the movie with the exception of the Special subsection.
Some Locations pages include
screenshots and/or quotes from the movie to assist the visitor in making
connections between fantasy and reality. Quotes need not match the
dialogue that actually takes place at the point where the screenshot was
taken, but they are always at least thematically compatible.
