If the camera lens intimidates you, or you feel uncomfortable as soon as they shout 'action' then you're not alone. Many people have a bit of trouble being spontaneous, humourous or even cool. You're not alone. If you've struggled with feeling confident and relaxed in front of the camera you've come to the right place.
But there is a way to approach this differently. Let's have a look at the cause of the awkwardness, and where it stems from and then we'll dive into a couple of ideas on how to improve your self-confidence when the the camera is rolling. We'll have a look at:
<ul>
<li>Fight, flight or freeze</li>
<li>The conversation</li>
<li>Deflection</li>
<li>Preparedness</li>
<li>Differences in personalities</li>
<li>Etc</li>
</ul>
Hopefully this will help put you in the right frame of mind when you push record.
