This trope is found in most media, including animation, where no physical lights are involved. It has existed for longer than even electrical stage lighting*[[the term 'in the limelight' comes from the pre-electric chemical method]], making it OlderThanRadio]], and can still claim to have both popularity and credibility. It is also a staple of FilmNoir; in film posters, often the Dick or some streetwalker would be standing under a street light, and everything else would be black.

The closest thing you can find to a RealLife example of this is using a spotlight on a stage for [[SeriousBusiness delivering a speech]] or something similar. The Dramatic Spotlight very effectively creates a dramatic mood, and since it it so effective, it is also easy to misuse. If you have a poorly-written character whose troubles you haven't made the viewers care about, the Dramatic Spotlight isn't likely to make them start caring; it is likely to produce {{Narm}}. When PlayedForLaughs, however, there is a lot of humour to be found in deliberate overdramatization. {{Large Ham}}s thrive and flourish in this light.
