Below is the trailer of BBC Three's Fleabag Starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Which we looked at briefly in lesson.The British television series incorporates the technique of 'breaking the fourth wall'. This is when an actor looks directly to the audience and speaks to them.
It can be used to implicate the audience. If a character murders another character, then looks right at the audience and addresses them, then the audience is implicated as people who watched a murder and did nothing also breaking the fourth wall can encourage an audience to ally themselves with a particular character.
In Fleabag the purpose may be to interact with Phoebe's brutally honest character or this technique could emphasize the humor of the situation as she has many awkward run in's with her father, short love affairs and her sister.Lastly we get an insight as an audience to how she is feeling in each scenario.
