In our group Amee, Jordan and Nicole are all the camera operators. This is due too me (the actor)

Actors must be highly adaptable, as they may portray many different characters
over a short period of time.

We have decided in our thriller that Abbie (me) will be the actor, mainly because
I have more confidence to perform in front of the camera.
In the opening of our thriller we need me (the Actor) to constantly look worried,
shocked, scared and traumatized. Its crucial that I stay in role so that the
opening looks believable too portray this as if it is a real situation.
I’m very alert and constantly listen to the girls for signals, such as the call of
‘action’.
