{{trope}}
This trope is an [[Anime]]/[[Manga]] exclusive (although it also shows up in animesque web comics).
In some scenes with couples, there will be a static background shot of a school facility (usually a hallway or yard) or any home/urban/park area, with a notorious vanishing point (generally centered), representing the protagonist's point of view. In the foreground there's a medium shot of almost always [[Always Female|a female character]] with a shy or gentle expression. Similar to a standard [[Dating Sim]] or [[Visual Novel]] screen (as well as many Flash games). This shot is commonly used as a device to imply romantic involvement.
In Hollywood jargon, it's a widescreen eye-level medium-long shot or widescreen eye-level cowboy shot, depending on how much of the character is pictured.
Might or not have the menu options and decorative frames (in which case it's a parody).
