The 4th Wall - Jaws 19

In this episode I consider the fourth wall, it's origins and how it is used to connect with or alienate an audience.

I love 4th wall breaks. When I was growing up there was this hate of them doing the rounds like it was somehow really bad and meant the writer was bad because they had to throw in micro exposition. But it was always done in comedies and you felt you were part of a secret. They knew that you knew and it was 'just between us, yeah' and I love that. I even love it in youtube videos where someone is already talking directly to the camera but then does a head turn to a different camera and then adds a little note saying they hope something works, or that they've got zero confidence in what they're saying to the other audience - who you also are. I lllllurve it. Thanks for the video, dude.... and here comes the edit where I have to take out the double line breaks youtube always puts in.

Thanks Drunkula! You captured it perfectly. It's like being let into a secret. Really appreciate your comment 😊

@@Jaws19show Do you watch Fleabag? It's added a little 4th wall element this series that almost make you panic. It's wow.

[@Jaws19show]

I love Fleabag. Not started Series 2 yet but I'm planning to soon

Very good video. I like when actors interact with the 4rt wall. It's a brilliant turn of the plot, and we can feel included in the film, more than when we watch it in 3D. I love to go to the theater too, and it's the best part. Well done, Graham, I really enjoy this!

You know, the movie Jaws also breaks the 4th wall? It's very brief, but it happens.

Tell me more!

@@Jaws19show Oh gosh, It's been so long! OK, it was a daytime scene. I would say there were 3 major action scenes that took place in the day where Chief Brody, Quint, Hooper were running around that boat so hard trying to catch that shark each time ending in failure. Every action scene on the boat were incredible, but this one was so intense and so dramatic, at the end of the scene, Richard Dreyfuss looked right into the camera and sighed, comically in frustration. So, to narrow it down, it was at the end of a daytime action scene after unsuccessfully catching the shark!

Thanks! Guess what I'm going to watch later 😊
