 Subjective filming is :

focusing on one character central to that scene. We are immersed into the characters perspective with the use of POV shots so the audience can see what the character is seeing, the use of character movements like causing a spin to show a character is dizzy and camera angles such as a close up shot of the character so his face fills up the screen and we can get a sense of what he's feeling. This is done effectively in 1998 'Saving Private Ryan' to show the after effects on shell shock. Sound is also used in that film to show he can distinctively hear what's going on around him like the explosions and but the other shouting at him 'what do we do?' sounds completely muted to him.  An extreme close up can also be used and this highlights the character facial expressions even more. The soundtrack is used to show the character's perspective like in 'Apocalypse now' with 'The End' by the doors plays over him having a mental breakdown.
