Huddle Shot: Difference between revisions

[[File:Huddle.png|link=A KnightsKnight's Tale|rightframe]]

A group of characters want to discuss something privately amongst themselves, so they [[Huddle Power|form a huddle]]; the camera POV switches, [[Worm's-Eye View|looking directly upward]] at the characters' heads and torsos as they talk. This is incredibly common in sports movies, where it appears during "the strategic discussion during halftime". (And in (American) Football movies, it appears even ''more'' frequently).

{{examples|Examples:}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' has this every now and then, most often before big battles. Normally, everyone except [[Hot -Blooded|Ryouhei]] and Yamamoto are less than eager to do it, and tend to find it incredibly embarrassing.

* The [https://web.archive.org/web/20121103094710/http://www.mania.com/gallery/124201/59197.jpg title screen] of ''[[Strike Witches]] 2''.

* ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch|Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch Pure]]'' has one of this during an episode where they had to play volleyball.

* In Episode 8 of the ''[[Little Lulu (Animeanime)|Little Lulu]]'' anime, Tubby, Wilbur, and Iggy did this in Lulu's presence, when she interrupted their lunch time.

* The picture is from ''[[A KnightsKnight's Tale]]'', after the villain is thrown off his horse: "[[Ironic Echo|You have been weighed, measured]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|and found wanting]]."

* The first ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Filmfilm)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' movie when they're fighting Shredder. "At what point did we lose control here?" "Maybe we should tell him '''we're'' the good guys.'"

* In the Disney film ''Superdad'' after Bob Crane gets conked on the head, there's a shot of a huddle of people over him. One of them was doing [[How Many Fingers?]].

* There is a very similar shot in ''[[ItsIt's aA Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World]]'', though from the point of view of the treasure that has just been dug up, instead of from a character. It was parodied with an identical shot in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' when everyone is searching for the loot of the Cat Burglar.

* ''[[The Goonies (Film)|The Goonies]]'' had this when they realize they have [[Zillion -Dollar Bill|enough treasure to ensure that they don't need to leave]].

* The signature image from ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'' has the main cast (from the first several seasons) huddled around presumably the point of view of the patient.

* The opening credits for ''[[MASHM*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H]]'' opening has two individual "huddle shots": one of Hawkeye and one of BJ. They're the only ones in the shots though, so it might not count.{{verify}} There was one ep where it was [[POV Cam|shot from the patient's POV]], there was a huddle or two in that one.

* ''[[That Seventies Show|That '70s Show]]'' had some of these in its "Stoner-wipes".

* [[Played for Laughs]] in [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=notKtAgfwDA&ob=av3e "Like a Surgeon" Music Video] where you see a bunch of surgeons as well as a football player huddled around a patient.

* ''[[A BugsBug's Life (Animation)|A Bugs Life]]'', when they plan to send Flik away on a [[Snipe Hunt]].

* [[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]] have done this. One time they huddle without anything happening because Eddy can't think of a scam.

* Done by the Apple family in the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] episode, [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 /E15 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000|"The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000"]] when debating on whether or not to agree to the Flim Flam brothers' offer. The brothers somehow manage to sneak themselves in the huddle.
