The device is often used in literature told in the first-person ("I") narrative viewpoint, however, it can refer to any story (or "story within a story") in which the narrative is suspect due to misinformation, missing information, or deliberate deception - including those told from the third-person ("he/she/it") perspective. The device can also be used in other media such as film and tv, where the narrative can be considered as coming from the viewpoint of a character's dialogue, artifacts within the story such as a film or written passage witnessed by the characters, or even the perspective of the camera itself.
