In most movies, shows, video games, etc., the camera is assumed to not be actually present; one might say it exists outside the Fourth Wall. An In-Universe Camera, 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 Camera Abuse, and works rather well with a Jitter Cam. It's also a favorite device of the Documentary Episode, where another character is assigned a role of operating the camera, or a Mockumentary, which parodies the documentary genre. May lead to a Left It In situation, if a character explicity asks for something to be "edited out" (but it's, of course, left in, since you the viewer are watching it). When the camera is meant to represent the "eyes" of a character, it's a P.O.V. Cam. If the cameraman is an amateur and the plot is about what happened to them, it's a Found Footage Film. See also Show Within a Show. For a gameplay mechanic that frequently uses this trope, see First-Person Snapshooter. |

Wreck-It Ralph: The action inside Hero's Duty is displayed to the player by a camera robot that travels with the soldiers and simulates the first person perspective for the player. Naturally, it suffers Camera Abuse as its lens breaks when Ralph uses the robot as a shield against a Cy-bug. Likewise, we do see the camera guy who is doing the live footage of racer introductions in Sugar Rush that appears on the jumbotron adjacent to the spectator's stands. |

The Community episode Pillows And Blankets does this, with the premise that the cameras came from a Guinness World Record crew that were intending to document the largest pillow or blanket fort, who instead would document the pillow fight that resulted when Troy and Abed built rival blanket and pillow forts that could not expand without encountering each other. It was done in a Mockumentary in the style of Ken Burns Civil War documentary, portraying the pillow fight as if it were an actual war. | |

Arrested Development is on the fence. While it's never explicitly stated to be a mockumentary, the camera acts like it's a person carrying a camera- it jumps, shudders, looks through keyholes and under doors. It also gets thrown out of a court in accordance with rules banning televised trials. So while it doesn't say so, it does this quite a lot. However, if this trope is actually in effect, some serious Fridge Logic ensues about just how personal the Bluths are willing to get in this "documentary." | |

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. | |

The camera used by the documentary crew in The Office. The show seldom explicitly refers to the presence of cameramen, though. So seldom, in fact, that when the camera crew is actually discussed or referred to onscreen, it can be a little jarring. |

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The camera is an actual robot, "Cambot", and we see the show through his perspective. We only see him in the opening "Robot Roll Call", and he's actually looking into a mirror to show himself. That's why his name is backwards. There's also the external camera, Rocket Number Nine, which is basically its own satellite which is remote-controlled by Cambot. Deep 13's cameras were remote controlled in Season One, with the respective sound effects. By the next season, they were operated by Jerry and Sylvia, the Mads' mole men neighbors. |

Kat explains early in Endless Ocean that she sends down an remote-guided minisub to record your dives, which justifies the third-person view and how the camera will occasionally brush kelp and fish aside. You can never see it when in first-person, though. | |

Duckman's Documentary Episode, "American Dicks", is done entirely from the perspective of a cameraman filming Duckman's investigation as part of the Show Within a Show's Milestone Celebration, hence lots and lots of Jitter Cam. At one point near the end, the cameraman sets the camera down on the ground and attempts to join an offscreen brawl, only to get thrown out almost immediately. He flies into his camera, causing it to slide across the floor in circles until he picks it back up. | |

The SpongeBob SquarePants episode "No Free Rides" begins with SpongeBob taking his drivers test. As he drives towards the camera, the narrator's voice grows louder and more alarmed until SpongeBob hits the camera. The next shot shows the narrator, who acted as his own camera man, down on the ground. | |

Early on in Shredder Orpheus, an EBN cameraman films Eurydice's dancing and Orpheus's attempt to stop the filming, which is seen through the camera's lens. Hades, Persephone, and the EBN producer are later seen reviewing the footage as they debate whether to force Eurydice to join the network. | |

Fleabag: At the end of the penultimate episode, the title character forces a Sexy Discretion Shot by reaching out and physically tilting the camera away. Although she is a constant Fourth-Wall Observer, up to that point it's not clear whether she's actually aware of the camera, or merely of a viewing audience on the other side. | |

YuYu Hakusho 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. | |
