The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
Knife Outline fits the third one.
Thanks a lot, that's it. Anyone know the other two?
No, no, that's not it. It's when said Character A approaches B frontally. The camera usually uses a side view then - you know, the two characters running towards each other but one of them is running towards something behind the other? You've all Seen It A Million Times, I guarantee you!
It's virtually the same, but it's probably not distinct enough from a simple Bait-and-Switch to be its own trope.
I've got three:
- Character A makes an unexpected confession under the influence of the situation (such as Character B moving to a different place, their lives being in danger, etc)? You know, like two friends being about to die in the clutches of some monster and one of them going "I always wanted to tell you...", "I want you to know..."?
- Character A appears to be approaching Character B, but in reality is moving towards something/someone directly behind Character B?
- Character A throws forks/knives/some sharp objects at Character B who is leaning on a wall, but none of them hit the target, instead, they make a perfect outline of Character B?
