Breaking the Fourth Wall: Direct Address in the Cinema

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Direct Address in the Cinema

by TomBrown (Author)

Synopsis

Film characters are not supposed to look at the camera, so what happens when they do acknowledge our presence as spectators? This book revaluates these and other fundamental assumptions about the medium by demonstrating that direct address is compatible with - and is in some cases a convention of - various traditions of filmmaking.
