I seem to remember a diegetic camera view of "protagonist trying to build device." But also following recorded instructions. Not sure how those go together.
I saw the beginning of a movie that starts with a man following recorded instructions to put together a recent purchase. I think it was a hot tub.
And it might have been Larry the Cable Guy. Someone like that.
