im scared of clowns?!?!?

Question

im scxared of clowns and i have to get killed by a clown in my video production class/... how would u feel?

Answer 1

I agree with wayfar... I'm no therapist, but perhaps it can also help you get over your fear somewhat. You'll have the advantage of knowing that it's not a real clown, but the goofy kid in your class who's really behind a bad mask or makeup. I would suggest not doing to much with this kid before the shoot, but hanging out with him afterward sans mask and makeup and maybe putting a face and personality to your clown phobia will help ease any future dream encounters and circus visits :-)

If it's really too much for you to use your real fear to your advantage in the shoot, then try hanging out with the guy beforehand and working out some of the fear beforehand. I know it may seem a bit irrational to relate all clowns to this one person, but it may help. I truly hope he's a goofy cheeseball.

best of luck to you!

Answer 2

I used to be scared of clowns but now i'm not.So maybe just remember that it's only a person not a real clown and have fun next time it happens!!

Answer 3

Use your own natural fear. I took an acting class once and I used something I was very afraid of as a tool to look really afraid. If you need some more ideas about scary clowns, renting the movie "IT" might help.

Answer 4

Hopefully you'll be able to use those feelings to show terror, since you'll be feeling more than a bit scared. Just get through it, and when it's over think of how much better your acting was because of it.

Answer 5

Oh my gosh, you are seriously living out my nightmare in real life. How'd you end up having to do that role? I'd rather die for real. You have my sympathies.
