savanna gazelles POV [point of view]
a kind of shot where the camera usually moves behind the character to suggest we are seeing the scene from his/her or its/their point of view.
In this case, the POV is from the point of view of the gazelles themselves...
cheers

ie we see what the moviemaker thinks they see...I say thinks because how can anyone know what the lovely creatures see?
It\'s a technical script term...:)

subjective shot(s) / sequence
I entirely echo Jane's excellent explanation, but just wanted to add a further comment.
Although POV is indeed used, in my experience, this is most often used to describe a particular shot, rather in the same wat we might use 'close up' or 'long shot' etc. — it's a sort of technical description.
Whereas 'subjective camera' (etc.) is more a description of a STYLE of shooting — precisely as Jane describes above, where the camers appears to take the place of one of the characters, so for example, people talk directly to it, and it appears to 'look around' in a rather more fluid way than is otherwise acceptable (AKA wobblycam!)
So although here we might well be describing a 'shot POV gazelles' (perhaps of the waiting predator?), I myself might be inclined to use 'subjective shot(s) and/or sequence' of it is in fact describing an overall approach.

regarding desert gazelles
you mentioned these were scenes shot in South Africa. This is my guess.
Something went wrong...
