Sound: Breaking the Fourth Wall

Breaking the fourth wall is a technique used in several films where the character/s within the shot almost come out of the film and appear as if they are speaking to the audience directly, completely oblivious to those that are still within the frame of the film. An example of this is in Ferris Buellers Day Off:



In this case, the method of breaking the fourth wall is used to give advice to the audience that are currently watching the clip; this makes the audience feel a part of the story line as they are being spoken to directly by the main character opposed to just watching him speak to the other characters within the film
