How Do You Get a POV from an Alien?
These are only questions that movie creators have to ask, but you may probably be wondering now. It depends on the movie, the creativity of the movie producer, and much more. Since E.T. was pretty short, they used Steven Spielberg sitting on a box to be about the same height. So it looked like people were watching from E.T.’s eyes, he used a camera covered with a cloth and two ‘eye’ holes.

Wearing a Costume Is Hard Work
Have you ever wondered why actors/actresses get paid so much money? They sit for a lot of makeup and sometimes have to wear crazy, hot costumes. This is the only photo (below) of Bolaji Badejo. He was a Nigerian student who wore the suit and has never had another film role. The costume was incredibly heavy and hot because it was made of latex. Now, you know why he’s shown here sitting down and taking a break.
