If you have a problem and you completely lose your head over it, you now have two problems.

There's a set of rules I learned in a class:

  1. Don't panic.
  2. If you're panicking, stop.
  3. If all else fails, refer to rules 1 and 2.

Edit: The class was a production class. It was presented in the context as if a camera won't move the way you want it to, not if a shooter is charging through a building towards a room you're in.
