Line 30:
* ''[[The Troll Hunter]]''.
* ''[[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.
* There's a scene in ''[[The Tall Blond Man Withwith One Black Shoe]]'' where the title character, an innocuous concert violinist, is identified as a spy in an airport. He walks through the concourse, putting a big piece of sticky candy in his mouth, and every few seconds the frame freezes, as various spies take his picture...always catching him with an awkward twisted expression as the candy gets stuck in his teeth.
* The indie film ''[[Killer Flick]]'', 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.

* ''[[Halo]]: Combat Evolved'' has a scene shot from the perspective of a soldier's helmet camera, when they discover the Flood.
* In ''[[Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario 64]]'', the camera is actually controlled by a Lakitu member of a news crew following Mario around the castle. Being one of the first 3D platformers ever, and a very early example of a controllable camera, this functions more as an excuse to explain what a third person camera ''is'' than Lakitu actually being a proper character.
* In the first ''[[Resident Evil]]'', there's a scene from a S.T.A.R.S. member's shoulder camera before he gets devoured.
* The basic mechanic of [[Suda 51]]'s ''[[Michigan: Report From Hell]]'' is that the player is a cameraman, attempting to film the events that unfold. The story progresses differently depending on what the player films, including the option of ignoring the supernatural events to get pictures of the reporter's boobs and [[Panty Shot]]s.
