Editing Hidden camera (section)

==In media==
{{Indiscriminate list|section|date=October 2022}}
Hidden cameras are sometimes used in [[Reality television#Hidden cameras|reality television]] and [[social media]], where they are used to catch participants in unusual or absurd situations. Participants will either know they will be filmed, but not always exactly when or where; or they will not know they have been filmed until later, at which point they may sign a release or give consent to the footage being produced for a show. This latter subgenre of unwitting participants began in the 1940s with [[Allen Funt]]'s ''[[Candid Camera|Candid Microphone]]'' theatrical short films.
