* ''WesternAnimation/AnOstrichToldMeTheWorldIsFakeAndIThinkIBelieveIt'' is a StopMotion cartoon that is heavy on MediumAwareness, with an outer camera showing the whole plasticine set while the "main" cartoon takes place on a different camera's monitor in the center of the frame. Neil is the protagonist, an office drone who eventually starts figuring out that he's actually a plasticine figure in a stop-motion cartoon. As the realization hits home for him, the camera does a dolly zoom to show his horror and disorientation--but it ''also'' dollies back far enough to again show the entire plasticine set for the cartoon.

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' was able to do this after switching to ''VideoGame/Halo3'', using the camera in theater mode. Previous games had a zoom feature, but it always switched to a scope of some kind. The camera in ''Halo 3''[='s=] Theater mode zooms seamlessly (although very quickly, making it a bit hard to control). One of the first times it was used was in Part II of "Relocation", when Caboose sneaks up on Simmons.

* The ''Film/{{Vertigo}}'' shot (and quite a bit of Hitchcock's oeuvre) is parodied on ''WesternAnimation/SylvesterAndTweetyMysteries'' with Sylvester in the place of the main character, and since it's WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes, the shot is exaggerated to the point of hilarity.

Often used to tell the viewers that the character in the focus of the camera has just had an emotional shock, although it may not actually be shown on his/her face. Sometimes goes hand in hand with OhCrap.
