Breaking the fourth wall is a common term thats used in the production process of making a film.
The picture above is a prime example of the 'fourth wall'. It shows 3 walls of the set and a non existent fourth wall. This is usually where all the cameras are placed. As an example of this, in the popular American television show, Friends, you can always see the kitchen, balcony window and the wall with the bedrooms doors are but you never see what is happening on the other wall. Its like your constantly sitting on a chair in the same place and not being able to see what is behind you. Not many directors choose to break the fourth wall but it can be popular in some old films.
