If you want to fake something like that, would your cameraman stand there like a statue or would he be acting as if he were scared and shocked = running away from the explosion?

"Mr. Achmed, sir? I have good news: your application for transfer from the Artillery to the Suicide Corps has been granted...effective immediately."
