Blue Aside

Blue Aside is a communication technique used in theater, film, or television where a character speaks directly to the audience or someone off-screen, knowing that other characters on stage or screen are unaware of this interaction. It allows the character to share thoughts, feelings, or information privately, creating a sense of intimacy or dramatic irony. This device helps to deepen the audience's understanding of the character’s perspective without disrupting the scene’s flow. Essentially, it’s a way for characters to have a secret conversation with viewers or the audience, enhancing storytelling and engagement.
