Richard, have people here properly understood your original query? You're looking for a very particular form of 'direct address' aren't you, where fictional characters undergo mock 'interviews' (with reporters, analysts, and the like)? If so, there are dozens of examples (although - I'm confused, myself, by now!) not all involve 'looking down the barrel of the camera'. For instance - HUSBANDS AND WIVES by Woody Allen.
