This famous shot from The Shining (1980, by Stanley Kubrick) is a  great example of a diegetic perspective, because it instantly connects the audience to ‘Johnny’ by demonstrating his wild and eccentric behavior. The shot also emphasizes the significance of the character by expressing his characteristics in such way. Since this is a closeup, it highlights the importance of emotion within the character by displaying it so erratically

This shot from Cloverfield (2008, By Matt Reeves) is a good example of intra-diegetic gaze because it intrigues the audience by putting us in the place of the character. This is an interesting concept because it is solidifying verisimilitude by immersing us in the world. The audience are part of the peripheral, since we are viewing the whole thing from the camera’s perspective. We feel like we are part of the world because the shot depicts us a the main character so we feel and believe that we are in the film

Some films only utilize aspects of breaking the fourth wall, and many only use the challenging technique only once or a few times. Deadpool (2016, by Tim Miller), is a great example, which uses this technique throughout the entire film. This is mainly for comedic purposes, and to engage with the audience. Most times, Deadpool is speaking to the audience, usually with jokes. This intrigues the audience by not only making us feel part of the film but developing a crucial relationship between the audience and Deadpool himself, which is significant in establishing him as a likable and humorous character. You would think that the technique could be overused because of the extent it is used in this film ,however; each joke or line is delivered with such comedic finesse that everything feels how it should and has a purpose. These jokes really help to solidify the significance of Deadpool in such a popular comedy/action genre
