1 | '''Basic Trope''': A mundane action is played to look more epic than normal. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob is running to get on an elevator, but the doors are closing, so he makes a slow-motion dive for it from some distance away, complete with a BigNo. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Every time Bob takes a step, breathes and blinks in the scene, it goes super slow-motion and put in several dramatic camera angles, complete with [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic orchestral music]] and OminousLatinChanting playing. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Bob is running to get to an elevator, but it's clear the trip there was a lot more than just walking to the elevator. |
5 | * '''Justified''': |
6 | ** LargeHam |
7 | ** Bob is running to get on the elevator so he can escape before the building explodes. He is still just trying to get onto an elevator, though. |
8 | * '''Inverted''': |
9 | ** Bob is fighting off [[BigBad Mr. Evulz]], but the scene treats it as mundane as opening a door. |
10 | ** UnusuallyUninterestingSight |
11 | ** MundaneHorror |
12 | * '''Subverted''': It looks like Bob's about to dive for the elevator... but instead he turns and starts going up the stairs instead. |
13 | * '''Double Subverted''':...which he climbs two steps at a time while SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic plays. |
14 | * '''Parodied''': |
15 | ** Bob makes a leaping, slow-motion dive for the doors, along with awesome music, a BigNo, and everybody around him gasping in shock at how awesome it is. When Bob gets inside at the last second, he does a heroic pose and everybody applauds. |
16 | ** Everything Bob does is treated like this. For example, a scene of Bob eating cereal for breakfast has Bob sharply dipping his spoon on the bowl, a close-up shot of his mouth chewing the cereal, with a lot of dramatic camera angles, complete with OminousLatinChanting in the background. |
17 | * '''Zig-Zagged''': Bob treats some mundane actions dramatically, but does others normally, while he treats some momentous actions with due respect but [[ButForMeItWasTuesday shrugs off]] others. |
18 | * '''Averted''': Bob enters the elevator casually with elevator music. |
19 | * '''Enforced''': "We need to make this scene longer, so let's make it seem more awesome than it really is!" |
20 | * '''Lampshaded''': "We could've gone without the leap and giant 'NOOOOO!', Bob." |
21 | * '''Invoked''': Bob's life is very mundane, so he decides to spice up his life with awesomeness. |
22 | * '''Exploited''': For ObfuscatingInsanity, Bob always invokes a {{Narm}}-filled version of this. So, of course, Mr. Evulz sees nothing unusual on the spycams when Bob actually saves the world. |
23 | * '''Defied''': Bob starts to dive, but his friend Alice grabs him and tells him to just use the next elevator, which is currently open. |
24 | * '''Discussed''': "Yeah, sometimes I want to mop the floor wearing a BadassLongcoat and playing OminousLatinChanting..." |
25 | * '''Conversed''': "This movie has mundane moments spiced up with epic. Perhaps the creator ran out of ideas?" |
26 | * '''Deconstructed''': These kinds of scenes basically reek of {{Narm}}. In-universe, since Bob keeps doing these, he's seen as childish, and is laughed at. |
27 | * '''Reconstructed''': ...[[IntendedAudienceReaction which was the intention]] [[{{Bathos}} of the creator or Bob]]. |
28 | * '''Played for Laughs''': Bob does this as a RunningGag. |
29 | * '''Played for Drama''': Bob loses friends and allies and/or falls behind on what he's supposed to do because he [[SkewedPriorities creates drama where he didn't need to create drama]]. |
