Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })At times, like when a character is giving another something like a makeover, that character's back fills up the screen while they are doing it. And once that character moves aside, the other one is revealed. Or sometimes when a character is revealing some invention, they'll hide it, and will reveal it once they turn around. Or when a group of people are gathering around one individual, there is one whose back completely fills the screen.
Similar to Unreveal Angle. May double as Obscured Special Effects for certain animated works.
Also can work like a Body Wipe.

The Simpsons episode "Bart the Murderer". Fat Tony fills the screen as he and his boys corner Principal Skinner in his office and Skinner asks how they got past the hall monitor.
In "Much Apu About Nothing", Apu is about to point to Springfield on a wall map, when Bart enters and blocks the whole scene with the back of his head.

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius:
"Beach Party Mummy" Jimmy, Sheen, Carl, and Cindy were crowding around Libby to give her a makeover. Carl was the one mostly covering up the screen.
"Win, Lose, and Kaboom" At one point when fighting Meldar's robot army, the camera pans over to the right until April's mother's back fills the screen. Then the camera zooms out from, Meldar's assistant, Vandana's back.

Case Closed
"Illustrated Murder". A police officer's back fills the screen some while he was preparing to tie fishing line around an intercom to copy the murderer's trick. He moves aside to reveal it in place.
In the movie Detective Conan Film 02: The Fourteeth Target, While Conan saw someone on a motorcycle with a crossbow in a crack in Dr. Agasa's house, Dr. Agasa soon enters the screen blocking him and Conan's reflection.
Episode 488 "The Devil of the TV Station", happens 2 or 3 times with Professor Agasa while Conan is using him to solve the case. The camera starts at the back of Agasa's head, then pans down to Conan behind him.

In The Lion King 1 ½, Timon is in the middle of one of his "look beyond what you see" moments when he suddenly recoils and exclaims, "Hey! How am I supposed to look beyond what I see, beyond that?" From his POV, we see a backside view of Pumbaa. Pumbaa apologies and moves aside, revealing the ravine where the wildebeest stampede from the original movie took place.
