'Look at the Camera' is a Tumblr that showcases eye contact between actors and the camera, a technique known as 'breaking the fourth wall' because it acknowledges the existence of the audience.

A screenshot from The 400 Blows is used as the blog's main image, and is fitting seeing as the1959 Francois Traffaut French New Wave film was one of the first to employ the technique. Other films referenced for using the 'breaking the fourth wall' technique include The Graduate, Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski, American Beauty and A Clockwork Orange.
