My brother said he learned the word in his English class, but forgot. Anybody know? It's usually called "breaking the fourth wall". When it's done on camera, I personally like to call it "mugging to the camera", but I don't think that's the technical term for it, hahah. But yeah, I'd go with "breaking the fourth wall". Here we call it "Breaking the Fourth Wall".... Second glance or take? |
