This trope can be specific kind of [[BreakingTheFourthWall Fourth Wall-breaking]], in instances when a character looks directly into the camera, but still is not completely breaking the fourth wall as it is often treated as an addendum to the actual work. It may also be a PastelChalkedFreezeFrame. Compare GroupPictureEnding.
