History Main / TeamShot

[[folder: Anime and Manga ]]

* ''Anime/TheIdolmaster'' - Several InUniverse, not counting both openings and a few of the endings.

[[folder: Comic Books ]]

[[folder: Film ]]

* The credit sequence for ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'' - aka the "The times they are a'changing" sequence- ends on a team shot of the New Minutemen/ Watchmen. It's nearly a BookEnd since there's a photo of the original Minutemen about half a minute in when the film title comes up.

** The first is the shot when the team is fully assembled for the first time. It's an awesome circular panning shot that shows each member standing back to back, ready to take care of business.

** In the actual movie Drax is absent from the line-up and the first proper TeamShot occurs during the escape from Kyln, when the door of the control tower opens to reveal them all assembled.

[[folder: Literature ]]

* RAF pilot turned novelist John Nichol describes a RealLife example in his memoirs, a group photo of the participants in a major annual exercise. After a few years they decided the conventional TeamShot was getting dull and decided to liven it up a [[CouchGag different way each year]], getting progressively weirder each time. Nichol was somehow persuaded to don his old POW uniform from UsefulNotes/TheGulfWar - which had [[ShellShockedVeteran unpleasant connotations]]- while everyone else improvised hilariously unconvincing Arab headdress and pretended to... [[AssShove do something rather unpleasant]] to him with ''a Sidewinder missile''. [[DudeNotFunny Nichol didn't find it very funny either.]]

[[folder: Live Action TV ]]

* Appears in ''Series/CriminalMinds''. Most seasons have an opening sequence that ends with this (although a few cut out Garcia and one cut out Rossi, putting that person in a separate box on the side. The recently-concluded Season 9 has the team being briefed on a case. The opening sequence always ends with the whole team standing together in front of the title card.

[[folder: Video Games ]]
* Playfully deconstructed in ''VideoGame/SakuraWars''; after every battle, the heroines (and hero) pose for a photo with the tagline "Shouri no POSE, kime!" (Roughly, "Victory Pose, Go!"). [[PlayerCharacter Ogami]] finds this somewhat awkward the first couple of times it happens. Every time new characters are introduced, they also find it incredibly dumb - but a couple of battles later, they're happily joining in. The high-water mark is in the third game, where Ogami is assigned to command a new team of girls - and is left as the only one posing, whilst his new comrades-in-arms recoil in confusion.

* The opening animation for the DS version of VideoGame/ChronoTrigger features someone taking a photograph of all the playable characters [[spoiler: except Magus]] off a table.

* ''VideoGame/{{Final Fantasy X}}'': The party, all standing around Yuna, when confronting Seymour for the first time.

[[folder: Western Animation ]]

* Chris tries to take a TeamShot photo of the cast in the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'', the twenty-two teens stand on the dock and smile, only to have Chris repeatedly delay the shot because of technical difficulties ("I left the lens cap on!" Or "Card's full!"[[note]]referring to the SD card in his camera[[/note]]) when Chris is finally ready and about to take the photo, the dock collapses under the campers' combined weight, [[RuleOfFunny sending everyone but Chris crashing into the water.]]

* The last shot in GravityFalls usually is this, and [[spoiler: Stanford is also PromotedToOpeningTitles, although the last shot stays the same]].

[[folder: Real Life ]]

* Group portraits of a family, a military unit, a yeargroup in school or any other group of individuals with something in common are OlderThanRadio.

* Chris tries to take a TeamShot photo of the cast in the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'', the twenty-two teens stand on the dock and smile, only to have Chris repeatedly delay the shot because of technical difficulties ("I left the lens cap on!" Or "Need a new roll of film!") when Chris is finally ready and about to take the photo, the dock collapses under the campers' combined weight, [[RuleOfFunny sending everyone but Chris crashing into the water.]]

* Both supplementary manga from ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'' and ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikerS'' end this way with a photo of the team after beating the tar out of each others in a "mock" battle both times. A third one is used during the "true ending" of the ''[=StrikerS=]'' manga after the epic battle between Signum and Nanoha, the ex-members of Riot Force Six have an after-party remembering the good times and in the last panel of the manga they take a commemorative photo with the main cast from ''A's'', plus Vivio, Rein and Agito.

* Most ''BackyardSports'' games.

** In the actual movie Drax is absent from the line-up and the first proper TeamShot occurs during the escape from Kyln, when the door of the contron tower opens to reveal them all assembled.

* Because ''Webcomic/{{Chiasmata}}'' has three groups of four persons (representing Eukarya, Prokarya and Archaea, respectively), so it also has of three of these, [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=7068&p=177 here]], [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=7068&p=178 here]] and [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=7068&p=179 here]].

* Chris tries to take a TeamShot photo of the cast in the first episode of ''TotalDramaIsland'', the twenty-two teens stand on the dock and smile, only to have Chris repeatedly delay the shot because of technical difficulties ("I left the lens cap on!" Or "Need a new roll of film!") when Chris is finally ready and about to take the photo, the dock collapses under the campers' combined weight, [[RuleOfFunny sending everyone but Chris crashing into the water.]]

* Present in the opening of ''LawAndOrder: SVU'', as the large ensemble cast makes the PowerWalk from the other series impossible.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'' does this in most of its openings, but strangely enough, the third opening is the ''only'' time it's been the closing shot. Usually the final shot is a close-up of the show's alternate logo, or of the crew's pirate flag.

* ''FushigiYuugi'' offers an unusual variation in that the heroes take up one corner of the screen while two of the main antagonists fill the rest, framing them.

* Most, if not all ''DragonBall Z'' openings feature this at the end.
* ''TokyoMewMew'', including [[ColourCodedCharacters colour-coded]] spotlights matching the heroines.

* ''VanDread'', with [[EvolvingCredits updates]] for the second season, even.

* At the end of every match in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', the winning team is presented in this manner.

* {{Warehouse 13}}, especially in S3 when that is literally the ENTIRE OPENING.

* ''Franchise/{{BIONICLE}}'' had at least one such piece of promotional artwork per toy-wave. In some cases, heroes and villains stood side by side if their toys were sold concurrently. Numerous covers and pages on the tie-in comics likewise had these.

* One trailer for ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' concludes with a shot of all of the playable heroes together.

* ''YuYuHakusho'' -- one of the ending sequences almost perfectly matches the description.

* The opening credits for ''Anime/ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld'' end with a classic TeamShot, as do the various ''SakuraTaisen'' {{OVA}}s, and ''Anime/{{Grenadier}}''.

* A deconstruction: In ''SakuraTaisen'', after every battle, the heroines (and hero) pose for a photo with the tagline "Shouri no POSE, kime!" (Roughly, "Victory Pose, Go!"). [[PlayerCharacter Ogami]] finds this somewhat awkward the first couple of times it happens. Every time new characters are introduced, they also find it incredibly dumb - but a couple of battles later, they're happily joining in. The high-water mark is in the third game, where Ogami is assigned to command a new team of girls - and is left as the only one posing, whilst his new comrades-in-arms recoil in confusion.

* ''Film/TheAvengers'' has two particularly good ones:

** In the actual movie Drax is abscent from the line-up and the first proper TeamShot occurs during the escape from Kyln, when the door of the contron tower opens to reveal them all assembled.

* ''DokiDokiSchoolHours'' has this with Mika-sensei meeting up with her students.

* The scene where The Puella Magi Holy Quintet first fight together in PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion, immediately after the [[TransformationSequence transformation sequences]] is this, as seen [[http://31.media.tumblr.com/0e0a2b31398599d894164281bae5671b/tumblr_n3td394zZK1qlt0rpo6_r1_1280.jpg here.]]

* ''LoveHina Again'' parodies the trope by building a classic TeamShot with all the girls in front of the Hinata Apartments, and then literally dropping Keitaro into the scene to lay battered and broken on the ground in front of them. Then Naru lands on him, sitting.

* ''OutlawStar'''s opening, which also serves as a SpoilerOpening as [[spoiler: Hilda, a rather important character that doesn't appear in the team shot, dies in the fourth episode]]

* Very common in ''TheSlayers'' openings.

* ''OnePiece'' does this in most of its openings, but strangely enough, the third opening is the ''only'' time it's been the closing shot. Usually the final shot is a close-up of the show's alternate logo, or of the crew's pirate flag.

* ''[[Anime/TheIdolmaster THE iDOLM@STER]]'' - Several InUniverse, not counting both openings and a few of the endings.

* Both supplementary manga from ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'' and ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikerS'' end this way with a photo of the team after beating the tar out of each others in a "mock" battle both times. A third one is used during the "true ending" of the ''[=StrikerS=]'' manga after the epic battle between Signum and Nanoha, the ex-members of Riot Force Six have an after-party remembering the good times and in the last panel of the manga they take a commemorative photo with the main cast from ''A's'', plus Vivio, Rein and Agito.

* In JusticeLeague and it's sequel like doing it, for ''Unlimited'' it's a ''seventy-member'' team shot.
