Got some interesting information about point of views today and how, in most scenes, your dominant pov should be the pov for shared scenes.
In my earlier work I have a lot of scenes with the mc and his wife. Technically he is the main pov and she is one of two very strong secondary point of views. Often, in a scene with the main protagonist, i might use one of these two secondaries as they may give something different to the scene/ it may be more integral to their character development. If i was to change all their shared pov scenes to his pov, she would lose a lot in terms of voice, but I can see the logic of it.
How do you choose point of view when you have two valid for the same scene?
