Since we just finished up our narrative video projects, I thought I would talk about how self-conscious people turn when they are placed in front of a camera with people watching. I have been watching the show Food Network Star which features half cooking and half TV personality elements, and I find it so fascinating that even the contestants, who are cooking experts and have been on cooking shows many times, can totally melt, become awkward, or forget their words when they know all the attention (and cameras) is on them. Even if it's just a little bit, it seems to happen to everybody. I experienced it a little as I directed my narrative, because as I was acting in it I found myself often bursting into laughter or overthinking what I was supposed to be doing. When I'm on the filming side of the camera everything seems to flow like clockwork (not all the time, but in comparison). That being said, I feel satisfied with my performance (mostly, lol) especially as I got used to it,
You did really well in front of the camera, I thought! Lol.
