Breaking The Fourth Wall

Created by Georgia Bertolino, Beatrice Madamba & Tiani Wiropuspito

In collaboration with ACMI we were given the opportunity to share film techniques that directors utilise when creating a narrative in a film. Our group chose to explore ‘Breaking the Fourth Wall’. This technique aims to confuse and distort the audience’s viewing experience. This video essay aims to define what it means to ‘break’ the fourth wall.
