Behind the Black	comment	The tendency for something or someone to be completely invisible to the on-screen characters simply because it is not visible to the camera, i.e. "behind the black"note In the case of the Trope Namer, Homestar Runner, the videos were always surrounded by a black void â€” even when that object or person should be in clear view from the perspective of the characters' actual eyes. Some TV shows, films, and video games are guilty of assuming that characters can't see something just off-screen because, well, the viewer can't, and the viewer is the center of their universe. And don't start on the countless cartoons where somebody hides "behind" a spindly tree such that even the viewer should be able to see them... In any visual medium, every single time a character runs out in the street, and we, the audience, can't see if it's safe, that character will be hit by a truck. Of course this may be explained by them having other reasons not to see around them, like being distracted, in a dimly-lit area, etc. The important thing is that they tend to share their vision (and lack of it) with the viewers in order to experience things simultaneously (often things that they wish weren't there to begin with). One of the more common examples of this trope can be found in top-down RPGs, which feature hidden passages that should be obvious to the characters. It's also typical that if a woman is naked against her will and shown from the waist up, she only covers her breasts and leaves her lower body completely exposed as if the other characters only can see her upper body. A Sub-Trope of Rule of Perception. The Stealth Hi/Bye often takes advantage of this. Compare See No Evil, Hear No Evil, when off-screen events aren't audible until they appear on-screen. See also No Peripheral Vision, Failed a Spot Check, Offscreen Start Bonus, Offscreen Teleportation, Offscreen Reality Warp, Tree Cover, Fog of War, and Obscured Special Effects. For the acoustic counterpart see See No Evil, Hear No Evil. Not to be confused with Black Screen of Death, which is more about what you don't see.

Behind the Black / int_13349140	comment	This is a recurring theme with Metal Sonic in Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW). Whenever the situation seems suspiciously calm, Metal Sonic is almost guaranteed to rocket into action from off panel and catch the protagonists by surprise. For example, in Issue #30, he swoops in to retrieve Orbot and Cubot from Gemerl, but nobody sees or hears him until he suddenly rams his hand through Gemerl from behind. Tangle lampshades this and incredulously demands to know where Metal was hiding.

For most of this scene, and several previous ones, only the right side of the Architect's face is seen, which hides the fact that the left side of his body has been replaced with void. However, the party only gets shocked by this when the Architect specifically draws attention to it, despite the fact that they could clearly see his whole body the entire time.

Bart promptly points out it's directly across the street from their own house. To be fair, this is Homer we're talking about. In "How Lisa Got Her Marge Back", during the scene where Marge invites Lisa to watch a musical adaptation of The Bad News Bears, Lisa is holding some pamphlets for the performance in a way that blocks her neck from the viewers' perspective. Marge then offers Lisa some earrings she bought as a gift for her, but Lisa tells her she's not into jewelry at the moment, at which point she sets the pamphlets down, revealing she's not wearing her signature pearl necklace. Marge gasps in shock, even though she's in a position where she can see Lisa's neck the whole time◊. The episode "HOMR" features a scene from the movie Love Is Nice. A priest is performing a wedding with a bride and a groom facing him. He says, "Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The camera moves to show a second groom on the other side of the bride, and the two grooms say in unison, "I do." The priest only just then notices the second groom and faints in his surprise.

The camera pulls out to show an angry-looking elephant, who apparently came out of nowhere, is suddenly standing behind Elmer, warning him in no uncertain terms not to even think about it. This is generally just something Bugs can do. His antagonist will, thinking they got the better of him, turn their back on Bugs, only for Bugs to now be in front of him, ready for more, yet they never react until Bugs is on-screen, and often mutter to themselves for a moment or two before he appears.

Happens twice in a row in the Wave Country Arc. While Kakashi and Zabuza are fighting on the bridge, Gatou suddenly appears with about thirty thugs, who've somehow managed to soundlessly climb up the side of the bridge and bunch together, while only being discovered when Gatou speaks. Maybe justified, as everybody was pretty busy at the time, and Zabuza's fog was lingering. But what is not justified is twice as many villagers showing up minutes later in direct view of the thugs, who don't see them until Inari shoots an arrow at them.

One notable example is in "Room 426" when Bean attempts to get past an old woman walking down the stairs by climbing through the outer side of the stairs and somehow doesn't notice an old man ahead until the old man is actually visible on the screen. This gets him trapped between the old man and the old woman, and while the gag works through a camera frame, it probably couldn't happen in real life. On two other occasions, a car is parked, but the audience cannot see that somebody is inside it. In "Mr Bean Goes to Town", Mr Bean takes off his shoe and sock, and puts them on the roof of a parked car, which drives away. In "The Trouble with Mr Bean", he parks his car in an impossibly narrow space by getting out of the car, and pushing it into the space; then one of the adjacent cars drives away, the driver invisible to the audience.

Behind the Black / int_57ad0c07	comment	Resident Evil's camera is known for this. Some areas have cameras in odd angles that result in items and enemies being hidden from the player. Even if, say, it's a giant mutated zombie right in front of the player character two feet away, the camera makes sure it's hidden. It leads to great, fear-inspiring atmospheric effects. In Resident Evil 2, for example, the player must head directly towards the camera, thus obscuring the character's actual view. When it switches to behind the player, you are treated to the sight of a window and a scary creepy thing (shortly revealed to be a Licker) crawling by right outside the window! Also worth noting that while enemies off-camera are hidden from the camera, they are not hidden from the character. The auto-aim will easily pick up and track threats off-camera, and in most games, the character will turn his or her head to look at something important. In one part of the B scenario, you turn on a security monitor, revealing that Tyrant has entered the room, and he smashes the camera. Happens in Resident Evil 4 with Mendez in the cutscene preceding the Boss Battle with him.

Behind the Black / int_59151283	comment	A few times in the Metal Gear series: In both Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and Ghost Babel, Snake has to identify a female soldier, but due to the eight-bit graphics, he's incapable of recognizing her as being, well, the only woman on the base. In the case of Ghost Babel, he persuades the woman to give him some way of identifying her: Several times in the text games, Snake can't recognise someone's voice due to it only being written down - such as with Gray Fox's and Big Boss's taunting at the end of Metal Gear 2. In turn, in Metal Gear Solid, he can't identify the voice of his best friend, due to this being the first game in which Fox had a voice actor. The latter is justified in The Twin Snakes, as Fox's voice acting was changed to a Creepy Monotone with robotic filters and some distortion, making it more understandable that Snake didn't recognize the voice right away. There's a hint Pliskin gives you during the bomb defusal early in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty which seems to indicate that the top-down third-person view the player has had since the beginning of the series is actually how player characters in this series see the world. At about the halfway point, Pliskin's helicopter (and then two minutes later, Solidus' Harrier) pulls a Stealth Hi/Bye on Raiden due to being hidden behind the boundaries of the screen. It's subtly done, but in the director's commentary, Hideo Kojima points out that even though Raiden isn't looking at it, the noise real helicopters make is immense, and he'd be able to hear it from miles away. Of course, in-game, we only hear it once we can see it. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots makes use of this several times to arm Snake with stronger weapons than his typical knife/pistol combination; if he needs to pull out a bigger gun, typically his M4 Custom but also done on one occasion with the railgun recently liberated from Crying Wolf, he simply reaches off-screen for a moment and then pulls back with the gun already in his hands.

Behind the Black / int_5afbc0cb	comment	Undertale: Early on, Toriel asks the player to walk to the end of the room by themselves, running ahead. When you reach the end of the room, she reveals that she did not leave you, and was in fact behind a convenient pillar the whole time. But from the main character's perspective, they should have been able to see her (not to mention they should have seen her walk up to and hide behind it in the first place). The last puzzle in the Ruins revolves around this trope. You walk through the same room four times, seeing it from a different angle each time, and each angle reveals to the player a sign telling which switch to press. The room also contains some pillars next to the switches, which hide them from certain angles, so you have to memorize the room's layout and rotate it in your head to figure out where the switch the sign asks you to press actually is. A similar thing happens at the beginning of Snowdin when the player character hides behind a Conveniently Shaped Lamp to hide from Papyrus. The lamp is a pixel-perfect silhouette match for the player character, but since Papyrus (unlike the player) is not viewing the scene directly from the south, he should be able to see the player character standing next to the lamp. Sans's Eyepiece Prank inverts this. There's no logical way the player character should be able to tell that the "premium telescope" has left a red circle around their eye, but the player can see it just fine. Since Sans is a bit of a Fourth-Wall Observer, this makes a strange sort of sense.

Francine interjects with a comment as the camera zooms out to show her standing in the doorway. Stan questions how he was completely unaware she was there despite him having a perfect view of the doorway from his present position. When the camera zooms back in on Stan and Steve, Stan starts a sentence, but squints back towards the doorway, as though he's trying to tell if Francine is still there. Stan masters the art of the Stealth Hi/Bye, which works even when people are looking right at him, so long as he's just outside the frame. Gets spoofed when he tries it after being psyched out by a car salesman, only for the "camera" to pan over and show him with his head stuffed into the mailbox as he laments that he can't even vanish mysteriously anymore. Roger has a similar version of this ability, being able to change his disguises so fast that all it takes is for the camera to do a closeup on the person talking to him, and when it goes back to a wide shot said person is shocked to find Roger wearing an entirely different outfit. It gets to the point where he's able to switch between standing next to Francine and riding in a plane heading back to America, though this one does seem to tire him out as he asks Francine between breaths to stop turning around. In the episode "With Friends Like Steve's" Stan runs a fingerprint test on his home computer. When the results come up on screen, the shot's positioned in such a way that Stan's head blocks the portion of the screen saying whose fingerprints they were. Stan then comments that all he needs to do now is move his head so he can see the other side of the screen, and only then does he react to the information displayed. In "Joint Custody", Stan doesn't realize Jeff's standing next to him in the shower. In "Bahama Mama" Stan gets a Mid-Life Crisis Car out of nowhere. When Francine asks where he got it, he tells her he bought it at Offscreen Automotive...which adjoins their yard.

The first attempt was unsuccessful because there weren't any clouds out in the sky. The second attempt is exaggerated, as it doesn't work because he does it in the daytime. Of course, both of these conditions aren't seen by the viewer until the camera cuts to the sky in both attempts.

Behind the Black / int_62bf541	comment	Occurs quite often in Super Mario Bros. Due to processing limitations, if you can't see an object, it pretty much doesn't spawn or move. You can use this to your advantage if you jump on a Koopa and make its shell move around by moving so far the shell leaves your view, then going back - the shell will be gone.

The Alpha series also does this with series that leave and return; for example, the cast of Dancougar explained their absence in Alpha 2 by saying they had been assigned to a different front during that particular war.

Behind the Black / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: In The Avengers, Hulk's hilarious smack-down of Loki involves this: Loki is looking straight at the Hulk as the latter begins his "I am a GOD, you dull creature" speech. There is enough distance between them that Loki would be able to see the Hulk's whole figure (so Hulk couldn't make any move without it being seen). But Loki is the only one in shot and doesn't react until Hulk has already snatched his feet from under him mid-sentence so he can whip him around like a ragdoll. Subverted for comic effect in Thor: Ragnarok. Thor has been captured on Sakaar and sold to the Grandmaster when he sees Loki on the other side of the room and calls him over. They start whispering to each other because the camera is turned away from the Grandmaster, but since in actuality he's standing right next to them, he's heard their entire conversation. In Avengers: Endgame, once the plot goes back to the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy, the dancing Star-Lord manages to miss a fully-armored War Machine who appears from off-screen and then clonks him on the head.

Several times, he ends up on the set of a play, a movie, or a TV show, leading the audience to believe he's actually in a real-life situation, but when the episode is seen, it's revealed that he's on a TV set (or something similar). The only way this could actually fool Sam is if he was completely blind to everything that is not seen by the camera. To be fair, Sam is usually VERY disoriented from his Leap, so it's not surprising he wouldn't immediately think to look around to assess the situation.

In the middle of a flat, open field, on a full moon, within view of a house. One episode after the above, Patricia is ambushed by a walker that appears to come at her from an angle just ahead and to her right, which she should have been able to see coming seconds before it ran into her and bit her. In the episode "Prey", Andrea is running from a road into some woods to avoid being seen by a car. We see her run up a hill and hide behind the tree with the camera always focused in the direction of the road. We cut to a close-up of Andrea as she rests against a tree with her back to the road; and bam! Suddenly a zombie appears behind the tree and grabbing her through a fork in the trunk. To compound the issue a further three zombies pop up in front of her, wandering into frame, while she's being grabbed. The viewer should have seen the first zombie, ruining the Jump Scare and Andrea should have seen the zombies directly in front of her before deciding it was a good time to take a breather.

Often, finding the proper evidence requires only moving the camera slightly or changing its angle, revealing things that should have required no detective skills to notice. This has included a "Man" having a couple feet of long luxurious blonde hair hanging down from beneath his black "hair", or a brilliant bejeweled tiara that was left completely out in the open, save for the one precise camera angle you start with GAA also adds the ability to more thoroughly examine evidence in the court record by manipulating it as a 3D model. Critical pieces of information are uncovered by doing things as simple as... flipping the evidence over. Apparently no one who handled it before was paying much attention.

Then, he shows up a few feet to his left, with the cops apparently unaware until the camera pans to reveal him.

Behind the Black / int_8d318bad	comment	Super Mario RPG: Mushroom Kingdom proper has an NPC standing up against the northeast wall of a building... which, thanks to the game's perspective, renders him completely invisible. Fortunately, he's more of an Easter Egg than anything else, as he'll only make meaningless comments about recent events if you manage to talk with him. Far more evil is the secret entrance to Marrymore Chapel, which is located on a wall that faces northeast. When you first show up on the level, the bad guys lock the front door, so you have to either walk around the chapel and press yourself against every wall or read the strategy guide to proceed. Fun, yet sadistic, example: Trampolines are scattered throughout the world of the game. Jumping on them generally launches you to a new area. There are even trampolines indoors—the new areas they launch you to have holes in the floors that you jump up through. By the time you've gotten used to the idea that every trampoline has a hole in the ceiling above it, you come across one in the Moleville Mines that, when used, sends you crashing violently into the ceiling and knocks you unconscious so the recurring minor villain can rob you blind. Naturally, you have to jump on this sooner or later. The sunken ship features a room with a three-dimensional maze in which, due to the game's isometric view, Mario is completely invisible to the player, making it one of the most challenging platforming moments in the game. The room is skippable, provided that you already know the password to reach King Calamari.

Then when he shifts the body so that the viewer can see the horribly mutilated face (and the character can't) that's when he reacts to it. There is a scene where the characters, who are walking on an abandoned street, don't see the small army directly behind them until a shot is fired and the camera turns around. Compounded by the fact that we, as the audience, don't hear either of these coming either. The monster scene may actually be slightly justified. The survivors had just suffered a horrific helicopter crash. They would've been physically and mentally disoriented, and it's likely their ears were still ringing. And if you listen very carefully, just before the attack, the camera mic (which also may have been damaged slightly) picks up the sound of it approaching.

The main character, Kuroko, becomes invisible to other characters by virtue of always being out of frame. He can also deliberately disappear or reappear by ducking in and out of view. This happens numerous times in every episode, especially on the basketball court. But as other characters become aware of his special talent, the trick becomes less effective and they start to be able to see him behind the black.

Behind the Black / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon: The Sinnoh games contain a "secret" entrance to Wayward Cave which is only hidden because it's under a cycling bridge and you have an aerial view. To make this even weirder it's apparently even unnoticeable to characters within the game, which seems to indicate that everyone sees with an overhead view. Again in the Sinnoh games, the caves at the centre of the region's lakes are considered to be myths, which can only be explained by everyone having the same top-down view as you, since this top-down view hides the caves from sight until you're Surfing in the center of the lakes, while a proper first-person view would mean they're easily noticeable even from the shore. Lots of people get stuck on HeartGold and SoulSilver's lighthouse. From an aerial view, you probably would not notice the open window you're supposed to drop through. From a first-person view though... well, it is the only open window in the lighthouse. Then again, one might not want to go outside the window of a tall lighthouse, even in a game where the player themselves are never in danger of injury. In a rather unnerving section of the Sea Mauville area in the 3DS remakes of PokÃ©mon Ruby and Sapphire, the player can read a tattered notice stating that an "Odd Keystone" is missing. If the player opens a menu that covers the upper screen (maybe to check whether or not they have picked up this "Odd Keystone") when the menu has been closed, said keystone has materialised behind them and is revealed to be the PokÃ©mon Spiritomb, which promptly attacks the player.

You'd think it'd be the first thing he saw when he opened the door. To make things worse, Jasmine makes the same mistake, not noticing it until she sees he's staring at it. Justified since Steve was looking down most of the time, first just sleepily then after tripping over a toy left on the sidewalk. Jasmine was bringing Steve a brimming cup of coffee, so was likely watching that to make sure she didn't spill. The enormous size of the spaceship might have contributed. Not looking at it, sleepy, concentrating on other things ... big dark thing hanging over the city in the distance = "dark cloud".

There's nowhere to hide in the stairwell and the zombies in this canon are loud and fast monsters at all times, with the shot suggesting that Gerry opened a door with a zombie right in front of it and the zombie patiently waited to be noticed before attacking.

Behind the Black / int_a5d35fda	comment	In The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: It is dawn, and the Three Hunters have been running for days. They crest a ridge, and Aragorn suddenly stops, wary. He signals, and he, Legolas, and Gimli run across the top of the ridge to hide behind a rock... and miss, by a matter of INCHES, being trampled by a huge freaking contingent of horses and riders that are coming over the hill, which the keen-eyed elf didn't see coming and whose approach the ranger who can hear orcs ten miles away by putting his head to the ground didn't hear. It is justified in the original The Lord of the Rings, wherein they spot the riders from very far off already, consciously move down to the foot of the hill so as to not present an easily visible silhouette, sit huddled in their Elven cloaks, and have to wait for some time, during which they can discuss at length the people coming their way.

As it happens, the house's backyard also has a shed, but because it is only visible in the foreground and its door is facing away from the camera, the option is not available to search it, nor does anyone suggest it. This oversight is particularly noticable because, one, sheds are a common place to store tools that might help them get inside (this one does not, it's revealed later, but of course, they wouldn't have known this at the time), and two, the solution the group eventually must resort to is... gruesome, to say the least.

Behind the Black / int_a796bde8	comment	Several times in the text games, Snake can't recognise someone's voice due to it only being written down - such as with Gray Fox's and Big Boss's taunting at the end of Metal Gear 2. In turn, in Metal Gear Solid, he can't identify the voice of his best friend, due to this being the first game in which Fox had a voice actor. The latter is justified in The Twin Snakes, as Fox's voice acting was changed to a Creepy Monotone with robotic filters and some distortion, making it more understandable that Snake didn't recognize the voice right away.

Behind the Black / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy IV provide a well-known example of this trope. In a number of dungeons/castles/towns/etc., the character (if he knows to look for it or accidentally just walks into the right wall) will find a hidden passage. Many of the final weapons for the characters are found this way at the end of the game. Final Fantasy V has these same hidden passages, but one of the abilities characters can learn actually lets the player see them as well. Apparently only thieves are capable of noticing gaping holes in walls that run North-South. The overhead view "hidden passage" trick is back again in Final Fantasy VII, in several caverns and the Nibelheim mansion. In Final Fantasy VIII, Quistis' team runs into Caraway's office in search of Rinoa seconds after Rinoa leaves by the same door, somehow without seeing her. This even though Rinoa had crashed into Quistis exiting the room not long beforehand. Final Fantasy Brave Exvius runs wild with this. Every single town and exploration map has at least a couple of hidden passages that would logically be quite visible to the inhabitants of the world. Most of these hide treasures, to boot.

Behind the Black / int_a9517b88	comment	The God of War series: Very few of the things in the series that are "hidden" would be hidden to Kratos. They're just hidden from the player by the camera angles. A particularly ridiculous example is in God of War III, where Kratos somehow didn't notice Kronos until he picked him up, despite the titan being several hundred feet tall, shaking the ground with each step, being neither camouflaged nor concealed behind anything and generally being completely impossible to miss if Kratos had simply looked to his left. Because there's no way to control the camera, any enemy that you can't see can't attack you. And yes, it is possible to use this tactically by deliberately keeping troublesome enemies out of your vision. Part of what made the Hades level in the first game so frustrating was that it wasn't always clear which rotating walkways you had to use to proceed, or which ones led to platforms with power-ups, so you had to test some out that went nowhere. Kratos should have been able to see where to go. In the PS4 game, the dwarves Brok and Sindri have the unique ability to disappear, to step between the realm between realms, and become invisible to the naked eye. They do this by getting out of view of the camera and thus are invisible to Kratos and Atreus

Behind the Black / int_aca7b22d	comment	The Amazing World of Gumball: Humorously used in the episode "The Third": Darwin is looking at his reflection in a window, sees what he thinks is Gumball's reflection, turns around, and stares offscreen for several seconds until Gumball points out that he's not there but rather outside, on the opposite side of the window. Whether the characters see Teri in full or as a nearly invisible line is based on her visibility to the audience, even when the character's position should give them a line of sight perpendicular to the audience's. Played with in "The Recipe", when Gumball and Darwin hide the clone they made of Anton from the real deal. After he leaves they say how lucky they were that Anton didn't notice, only for Anton to reveal that just because he was out of sight, doesn't mean he was out of earshot. Played straight in "The Boredom". The Moon thinks it's right next to the Sun when they look that way to the viewer. Only after it cuts to an astronomical view does she realize they're 93 million miles apart. In "The Fuss" Nicole and the kids rush to prevent Richard from getting a tattoo of the date because she'd been guilting him over it, thinking it was their anniversary. Problem is at this point the screen is split between their race to the tattoo parlor and Richard getting his tattoo, and they can't see anything cropped by Richard's side of the screen. Gumball and Darwin try talking to Masami in "The Gift" to get an idea of a present she'd like without letting her know they don't have one. When she tells them and leaves, it's revealed that everyone else who was invited was eavesdropping when the camera pulls back and shows they were framing the screen. The most outstanding example has to be in "The Factory". It has the boys stowaway in Nicole's briefcase, which Gumball hands to her from within the briefcase, and somehow she didn't notice that her briefcase was floating to her carried by an arm sticking from inside it because the camera angle didn't show that at first.

Behind the Black / int_afd530db	comment	Arguably the solution to a puzzle in King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder!: in order to hide from some desert bandits, the player has to position King Graham behind some nearby rocks. It's not impossible for the bandits to fail to look to the side as they enter the cave, but there are places you can stand that will succeed while being clearly untenable in-universe (for example, sticking out halfway from one end.) Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge has pretty much the exact same puzzle, but the cover (a jungle tree) is much larger and therefore it works a bit better. The remake of Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter has the same puzzle again. The machine you hide behind is fairly skinny, but it's also pretty far up the screen, and the guards come by in the foreground.

Typically, the Rangers are just about to be struck down by the monster when the Sixth Ranger stealthily appears out of nowhere in his own Humongous Mecha and parries the monster's would-be killing blow. In Power Rangers Samurai Antonio does this a handful of times, notably in his intro episode. In an episode of Power Rangers Ninja Steel Hayley and Calvin are both running for school president. Calvin gives out balloons to encourage people to vote for him, with Brody and Sarah helping. There's a hissing sound and they turn to see a huge hot air balloon, about ten feet behind them, with Hayley's face plastered on it, and Hayley and Preston standing at a desk giving out tickets to ride on it. Apparently they'd just teleported in because the former three are astounded.

Naturally, this is rife with opportunities for running into traps that the prince should see right in front of him but the player cannot. The SNES version of the first game even has false walls in many levels (usually concealing valuable items), though because of the tilted z-axis to simulate depth, false walls that must be approached from the right really do look solid from the player's perspective.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides: There are some issues with this in the early chase scenes. For example, there is a part where Jack is being chased down a set of stairs by several British soldiers. He reaches the bottom. The camera cuts to the soldiers who then reach the bottom and run down the hall. Cut to Jack hiding behind a table at the bottom of the stairs. Even given that the soldier closest to him in pursuit turned away for a second to yell for backup, it's highly improbable he could have hidden there without the soldiers seeing him do it.

A gag similar to the above happens in "Rock Bottom". SpongeBob places a cardboard cutout of himself next to a vending machine across the street from a bus stop to keep the bus from driving off without him. Even though the facade of the cutout is on the opposite side of the bus, it only notices that the cutout is not SpongeBob and drives off when it falls over.

Each time he does, the jellyfish ducks behind a rock or other piece of scenery. The problem lies in that the camera perspective during this scene is always either behind SpongeBob or off to the side of him, and the jellyfish ducks out of the camera's view, which should leave it clearly visible from SpongeBob's angle. In "Bossy Boots", SpongeBob walks into the kitchen after having to take apart Krabby Patties to create salads (just a slice of tomato and lettuce). It takes him a minute to notice the grill is gone, even though he's been staring right at it. Played for Laughs in "Dunces and Dragons"; when SpongeBob and Patrick get sent back in time, the medieval Princess Pearl advises her father, King Krabs, against executing them for sorcery due to them being foretold as heroes by a prophecy. Krabs doesn't know what prophecy she's referring to until she points out the series of enormous stained glass windows right above his throne, which had previously been hidden by the camera angle.

Behind the Black / int_bca72091	comment	Animal Crossing: During the Harvest Festival, a turkey named Franklin, concerned about whether he was invited to have dinner or to be dinner, hides in different locations in your town... but always to the north of buildings. Sometimes that building is in the acre just south of the Wishing Well, where the festivities are being held. Anyone attending would have a good chance of seeing him. In City Folk and New Leaf, sometimes townsfolk will want to play hide-and-seek with you when you talk to them. When this is happening, you have a set time limit to find him/her and one or two other people somewhere in the town outside of buildings. They generally hide behind buildings and trees, where the player would not be able to see very well in many cases because of the overhead view, even though the character would probably be able to see them in the first person.

For example, there is a part where Jack is being chased down a set of stairs by several British soldiers. He reaches the bottom. The camera cuts to the soldiers who then reach the bottom and run down the hall. Cut to Jack hiding behind a table at the bottom of the stairs. Even given that the soldier closest to him in pursuit turned away for a second to yell for backup, it's highly improbable he could have hidden there without the soldiers seeing him do it. An even more egregious example occurs with the Spanish ships; nobody on Barbossa's ship notices them until Gibbs points them out, even though they're practically bearing down on top of them.

A particularly ridiculous example is in God of War III, where Kratos somehow didn't notice Kronos until he picked him up, despite the titan being several hundred feet tall, shaking the ground with each step, being neither camouflaged nor concealed behind anything and generally being completely impossible to miss if Kratos had simply looked to his left.

Behind the Black / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Excited characters have the strange ability to stick their heads in from behind the black, often in positions where they would have to be hovering several feet above the ground. Nobody questions this. Pinkie Pie in particular takes this to ridiculous levels. At one point, it's subverted as she promptly falls down. Originally only Pinkie was able to do this. When other, generic ponies do it in "Winter Wrap Up", Rainbow Dash is definitely surprised by it. It's taken to a ridiculous extreme in "Call Of The Cutie" as an entire party appears out of nowhere while the camera is zoomed in on Apple Bloom's face. Done to a rather extreme in "Bridle Gossip" when Twilight and Spike first duck into Sugarcube Corner with Pinkie Pie. Twilight asks why she's sitting alone in the dark, to which Pinkie replies she isn't. At that, the camera zooms out to reveal all the other mane cast are also in hiding. In "Secret of My Excess" Spike is able to steal everything in Zecora's hut when the camera zooms in on her and Twilight, including a brewing pot in front of them. In "Baby Cakes", Pinkie Pie is looking at the new twins, and phases under the window. In this case, the other ponies notice it. In "It's About Time" Twilight Sparkle fails to notice the entrance to the Star Swirl the Bearded wing of the Canterlot Library, which is just barely off screen, until Pinkie Pie points out that it is right next to them. Twilight immediately questions how she could have possibly missed that; however, this is also justified since she's very sleep-deprived. In "Equestria Games", after melting the giant ice block, Spike pulls an umbrella from just below the bottom of the screen. He opens it to shield himself from the brief downpour, then puts it back where it was, below the bottom of the screen. The camera cuts to a wider shot of Spike in the middle of the field. There's no umbrella and nothing it could possibly fit behind.

Behind the Black / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: In "The Web of Fear", Jamie is heading along an Underground tunnel and is suddenly jumped by a Yeti when the camera pans over to reveal it. The Yeti was in the direction he was heading in and even Hollywood Darkness doesn't explain it, since it had glowing eyes. In "Rise of the Cybermen", the titular monsters ransack Jackie's birthday party and start murdering the guests. The Doctor and Rose dash outside along the lawn, only to stop and turn back when a row of Cybermen comes into view, advancing towards them. The trouble is, they were running directly towards the attackers, yet don't seem to notice them until the camera does. In part two, "The Age of Steel", the Doctor plays this for laughs after being captured by the Cybermen (though it's clear he can see them): Played for scares with the Weeping Angels, whose whole schtick is that they cannot move when anyone's looking at them. There are many instances, especially in "Blink", where the character quite obviously cannot see them, but they remain frozen nonetheless, and only move when the camera looks away and the viewers cannot see them. The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You. Lampshaded in "The Next Doctor", as Cybermen â€” whose every step is accompanied by loud metallic "thunks" â€” somehow manage to sneak up on the Doctor. He doesn't notice them until they are in view of the camera. He then accuses them: In "The Impossible Astronaut", a school bus drops Amy and Rory off in the middle of nowhere. As the bus leaves, they turn around to â€” surprise! â€” find the Doctor and a snazzy red carnote A Ford Edsel station wagon sitting behind them. However, they would have noticed him there as the bus arrived, if they had simply looked out the window! (If they'd been sitting on the appropriate side of the bus, and not preparing to debark.) There's a bit of this in "The Angels Take Manhattan", when a Weeping Angel touches Rory in full view of Amy, then Amy in full view of the Doctor and River. Made even worse by the Angelic Statue of Liberty somehow managing to make it halfway across New York without anyone spotting it. In the opening scene of "Nightmare in Silver", the Doctor and company appear to have landed on the Moon, and he tries to explain to them that it's actually an amusement park ride. A moment later, soldiers surround them by entering through the ride's queue area which clearly has a sign stating it to be the "Spacey Zoomer Ride", an area that had been behind the camera until now, but the Doctor and company had been looking straight at.

Played with when Shaun is looking out the building for zombies that are within his field of vision, but not the screen, so he doesn't see them. Then the camera pans right: This trick is also used during Phil's "death bed" scene. The scene actually takes place in an overcrowded Jag but plays out as an intimate moment between Shaun and his step-father. Edgar describes it as artistic license to assume that the other passengers do not hear and acknowledges the technique of cropping them out of shot to achieve this.

Used in the episode "City Sushi", where Tuong Lu Kim (owner of City Wok) has failed to notice that a sushi restaurant has been built and opened right next door to his restaurant until Butters gives him a flyer for it.

Behind the Black / int_dab32e3	comment	The Mega Man X games are even sneakier, taking advantage of the fact that your movement through a stage is usually left-to-right; one capsule in X6 is "hidden" off the left side of the screen when you teleport in. Since X can cling to walls, his games do this on the vertical plane as well. What may look like a Bottomless Pit for the player may actually lead to a secret chamber below, hidden only by the screen's limits (but which should be obvious from X's point of view). The first game did go out of its way to teach this to the player in its introductory stage but then goes all out on abusing this as early as X2, where X needs a helmet upgrade to point out a "secret path" down a pit that he should clearly be able to see into. Similar with one of the sub-tanks and the entrance to Wire Sponge's level. The Mega Man Zero games are particularly fond of hiding things behind foreground layers. The Mega Man ZX series does this also but gives Model P and Model L special abilities to help find such items. Cyberworld areas in the Mega Man Battle Network series are seen from overhead, but there's no movable camera since battles don't take place there. This allows Capcom to hide items and secrets on lower paths so that the upper paths block your view — and man, they love to do it. These items are staring MegaMan.EXE in the face as he walks by, but he won't say a word; your only hint is if you get him stuck behind an item. Also done in the real world, which uses parts of the foreground to hide a background. In 3, there is a hidden speaker that you can jack into, containing a memory up, in the zoo. It's hidden under a ceiling so you would only know it was there by going to the right spot and pressing "A", rather than movement impediment. This is done more times throughout the games. These are easier to spot because the areas that you can't see are smaller so you can just check them, as opposed to online where there are many overlapping roads.

For instance, during the Honolulu airport attack a helicopter shoots at the M.U.T.O. only to suddenly have to dodge Godzilla's dorsal spikes. Said M.U.T.O. itself doesn't notice Godzilla until he stomps down just a few dozen feet away from him. Particularly egregious with the MUTOs in at least two instances, once when eating the submarine and once when it left a hole in the side of a mountain and was marching on Vegas in broad daylight and no one noticed until looking from the inside of the mountain.

Also, the trope name itself refers to the fact that the website is a flash player surrounded by black background. The email "shapeshifting" had a case where a selective camera angle kept the Cheat from noticing that Strong Bad's attempt to morph into the King of Town left him as only the right half of the King of Town until he turned around.

While characters continue to move around and interact with their surroundings even when off-screen, they can't seem to see the goose when off-camera. This can even amount to you manually zooming out the camera and immediately being spotted by a villager as they enter the screen, even though you and them never moved. Since all characters can outrun the goose and you have no defense against them save for the wimpy kid who you can intimidate, it makes sneaking easier since you know you're out of view if they're off-camera.

Behind the Black / int_f18a9d9c	comment	In Highway to Heaven, this is how Jonathan the angel enters and leaves a room. Other examples include: The episode Alone has Jonathan the angel, Mark Gordon, and a retarded boy walking down a long alley. In the middle of the alley is a boy, both his parents and a car. Neither party notices the other until the camera shows them, which happens when Jonathan, Mark, and the boy are about 15 feet from the others. This is done for dramatic effect. Then, after a discussion, Jonathan uses his angel powers to make himself and Mark disappear. When the boy looks around for Jonathan and Mark, he's surprised they're gone, but he's the only one who is surprised. Sail Away has an inversion of this trope. An old man (Frank) is seeing visions of his dead ex-girlfriend Gemma, whom he hasn't seen in 58 years. At one point, he's walking on the beach when he sees her. Obviously, it's her. She's wearing a green pea coat and has long, flowing hair. Without taking his eyes off her, Frank approaches her, but between camera shots, Gemma is replaced by Jonathan, wearing a leather jacket. At this point, Frank asks Johnathan if he's the only one there and asks him if he's seen Gemma.

This means that his left side was always facing the camera, even though other people in the scene should have been able to see him from the right.

Behind the Black / int_fe90689d	comment	At the end of the second day in Ninja Gaiden 3 (2012), Ryu confronts the Regent of the Mask on a helipad on top of a skyscraper in the middle of the desert - the highest point for miles. The two talk for a bit until the Regent snaps his fingers and the level's boss, a gigantic attack helicopter immediately rises up behind him, surprising Ryu and deafening the scene with the sound of its rotors. Somehow, Ryu and the player were completely unaware of this thing on the climb up.

Behind the Black / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation Inverted when a Ferengi captain abducts Troi, Riker, and Lwaxana. Mr. Hohm comes back onscreen just after they've beamed out and is perplexed by their absence—however, there were no corners or visual obstructions that would have blocked his view, so he ought to have been able to see the encounter and culprit. In "Elementary, My Dear Data," when Data walks up to Geordi and asks what an ensign could have meant by stating that Geordi is "standing beside the Invincible," Geordi points to the massive model of a sailboat that was just off frame, in full view of Data. Considering that the rest of the episode is all about Data's ability to make deductions, you'd think he would have figured it out. In "The Game," Wesley comes to Picard with his concerns about a mind-controlling game spreading through the crew. After Wesley leaves, Picard retrieves a game module from a shelf beside him that was just off frame, revealing that he's in the grips of the game as well. Wesley should have been able to see the game module from his position and be tipped off to Picard's compromised state.
