* The original Russian intro to ''Animation/KikoRiki'' features the characters building a nature environment. When Barry places a tree, it shakes the screen enough to where the camera goes lopsided for about a second before Krash moves it back into place.

* The fake HilariousOuttakes in ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'', ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' and ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2''.
** One of the special features of the ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' DVD is a camera fly-by of each of the film's sets. During the fly-by of the Monsters Inc. building you can briefly see the camera (operated by ThoseTwoGuys Smithy and Needleman) reflected in the restroom mirrors. Mike also waves at the camera as it goes by on the door storage area.

An In-Universe Camera, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as the name suggests]], is actually present in the "world" of the story: Characters may notice and talk to it, it may get bumped or shaken by the environment, and may even be seen in a reflection. This frequently makes it a target for CameraAbuse, and works rather well with a JitterCam.

** Twice in ''Film/HighAnxiety'' the camera crew accidentally breaks through the set during a dolly shot, causing the actors to turn toward the camera. In the second example, you can hear the crew arguing about it.

* ''Film/{{Searching}}'' and its [[ThematicSeries thematic sequel]] ''Film/Missing2023'' have a slight variation on this idea, where they exclusively uses shots from computer and phone screens, with virtually all traditional footage from webcams and phone cameras.

* Manga/YuYuHakusho is revealed to be composed of the case footage from Yusuke's time as a spirit detective. Considering some of the things we're shown throughout the series, including internal monologues, flashbacks, everyone's life before Yusuke even died, musical scores, and multiple camera angles, this footage must have been put through a ''lot'' of pre- and post-production.
* ''Literature/{{Hyouka}}'' provides an in-universe example as Oreki's solution to a LockedRoomMystery presented in a student film. [[spoiler:Though he was actually wrong.]]

* ''ComicBook/SensationalWonderWoman'': ''Man's World Womanger'' is mostly from the perspective of being through the lens of [[spoiler: Myndi Mayer]]'s iPhone camera.

* ''Film/{{REC}}'', its sequels, and the American remake ''Film/{{Quarantine}}''

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'', a security guard tells the cameraman shooting the scene where the instant replay of the Dinoco 200 race is shown to get out.

* The indie film ''KillerFlick'', in which the main characters are a quartet of filmmakers who exist within the fictional world of the exploitation film that they are creating. The cameraman "One Eye" is usually shooting the footage that we see, but sometimes he appears in frame as well.

* ''Film/{{Chronicle}}'' is shot through multiple in universe cameras. Most of it is from a camera owned by Andrew, a main character who almost obsessively documents his life, but it also includes the camera of Casey, a video blogger. In the last part of the movie, it switches between many different cameras, including security cameras, cable news, police video, and even camera phones.

* ''Film/{{Hungerford}}'' is viewed through Cowen's camera.
* ''Film/{{Eternals}}'': When Kingo joins the Eternals on their mission, he has Karun film an Eternals documentary as they go. Several shots are seen through one of his cameras.

* ''Film/{{Searching}}'' has a slight variation on this idea, where it exclusively uses shots from computer and phone screens, with virtually all traditional footage from webcams and phone cameras.
