When someone really doesn't want to be filmed, they'll stick their hand in front of or over the lens. For someone filming hands doing something, that's An Insert. Or Hand of Death. When someone accidentally blocks the lens with their own hand, that's Camera Obscurer. Compare Turn Off the Camera and Talk to the Hand. |

Total Drama: When a cameraman sneaks up behind Gwen to see what she's drawing (A picture of Trent without his shirt) she annoyingly covers the camera lens with her hand, and later in the TDA special Noah does the 'Talk-to-the-hand' variation of this to Sierra when she tries to interview him on the Red Carpet, though this was most probably because he was on a call with someone at the time. | |

Doctor Who: In "Boom Town", Blon Slitheen, aka Margaret Blaine, tries to tries to block a camera pointing at her face with her hand during a press conference and scolds the photographer "No photographs! What did I say? Take pictures of the project, by all means, but not me thank you," the implication being she's been avoiding the cameras so her enemies don't know she's still alive. The newspaper photographers still catch her face, which is then published on the front of a newspaper the Doctor sees, allowing him to thwart her plans. | |

In The Dead Pool Inspector Callahan does more than this; he actually grabs the camera and tosses it away. However the footage of this event has already been recorded on video, as the reporter points out. Fortunately she's more interested in getting an exclusive interview from Callahan in exchange for not pursuing the matter. | |
