Hellooo world! Today for TV & Film class we were finishing up commercials that we started in the middle of last week, I happened to be the last one. I went today and I was very nervous. What happened was our wonderful teacher, Mrs. Thomas gave us each sheets with commercial scripts on them and we were to memorize and present them in front of a filming camera and our class. My script was for 'Skin Glow Facial Cleanser'.
I walked onto the stage feeling like my heart was about to jump out of my chest for various reasons.. but one, because the house lights were on so I could see every face clearly whilst the performance from earlier days the house lights weren't on, I couldn't exactly do anything about it so I just forced myself to focus on the camera. I began from the top and I could hear my voice trembling so my natural instinct was to rush through it in an attempt to disguise it. Which obviously wasn't a really good idea, cause I ended up having to do it all over again.
On my last line, when I had to hold my product to the camera and hold a pose (which was a smile) I could feel my cheeks trembling, I didn't think it was that noticeable but it appeared to be so, because after I asked one of my friends if she noticed my voice trembling and she said no, but she saw my cheeks trembling.. how embarassing! Imagine that, having a full room with classmates, grade 12 leaders, and a teacher seeing your cheeks trembling like that... yikes! Anyways, I'm now over that.
All my classmates did really well though, they all had really interesting commercials so it was really fun watching theirs. I had a few friends telling me I did really good but I didn't feel it, part of the reason most likely being because I surely don't have all the confidence in the world! But it was overall a pretty interesting day, it was the first time we had solos in our TV & Film class.. and well, we all survived, so that's a good sign... right??
