Line #9 PlayingWith/DisturbedDoves


1	'''Basic Trope''': When something significant occurs, a flock of birds, usually doves, takes flight nearby.
2	* '''Straight''': A dramatic scene occurs, and suddenly some birds fly by, taking to the skies.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': A huge swarm of doves takes off during a dramatic moment, blacking out the sky and continuing to the point where you wonder if it'll ever end.
4	* '''Downplayed''': During a dramatic scene, a single bird flies by.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** A character's shouting during a dramatic scene startles a group of nearby doves, who take flight.
7	** Alternatively, a character has had his FirstKiss, which in the heat of the moment activates his PubertySuperpower of summoning birds.
8	* '''Inverted''':
9	** During a dramatic scene, a bunch of doves ''land'' on the ground nearby.
10	** Alternately, the doves take off and ''actually cause'' a moment of drama. For example, a little kid is distracted by said doves and [[AnyoneCanDie falls off a cliff]].
11	* '''Subverted''': During a dramatic scene, there is a shot of a bunch of nearby doves... who stay on the ground the whole time.
12	* '''Double Subverted''': Something important happens, and we see a shot of a bunch of birds, but they don't take off. Then, we see some different birds, doves this time, fly past.
13	* '''Parodied''':
14	** One of the doves drops its, er... Feces on the head of one of the characters and completely ruins the moment.
15	** The flock of doves completely obscures the scene until it has lost any dramatic interests.
16	** A strange and somewhat random kind of bird is used (pigeons, flamingos, [[FlyingFlightlessBird penguins]], etc.)
17	* '''Zig Zagged''': During a completely uneventful scene, a bunch of birds take off.
18	* '''Averted''': Something dramatic happens. No doves are seen.
19	* '''Enforced''':
20	** The producer insisted that the writers work in his friend's trained birds.
21	** The director of the movie is Creator/JohnWoo
22	* '''Lampshaded''': "Why are there always doves nearby when things get emotional?"
23	* '''Invoked''': A character captures a few doves and releases them at a certain moment, usually a wedding.
24	* '''Exploited''': The BigBad chooses, as the location of the climatic battle, a gathering place for a bunch of doves. There are so many, in fact, that the air is filled with flying doves throughout the fight, providing an ideal dramatic backdrop (and hopefully distracting TheHero).
25	* '''Defied''': A character makes sure to talk quietly in an emotional scene, as not to scare the poor doves over there, and make them fly off.
26	* '''Discussed''': "Where do these doves keep coming from whenever something important happens? Are they following us?"
27	* '''Conversed''': "You suppose if doves were extinct in that world nothing dramatic would ever happen?"
28	* '''Deconstructed''': The tendency of doves to fly past has to do with their being augurs of fate; the characters eventually realize this, and tension is replaced by a gloomy fatalism
29	* '''Reconstructed''': There are lots of birds around in the setting, and the characters' relationship to nature is part of the story.
