It means that if you do not speak up about being depressed or "in pain" people around you that you interact with will unknowingly kill you on the inside and when/if you speak up they will assume you enjoyed it because you did not speak up before. Its a metaphor you see... if someone were to continuously stab you and you didnt speak up, they would stab you to death and assume you liked it for not acknowleding your pain. (excuse my terrible grammar im using an uncomfortable tablet with no auto correct and am trying to type this fast.)
A medium shot, also called a mid-shot or waist shot, is a type of camera shot in film and television that shows an actor approximately from the waist up. A medium shot is used to emphasize both the actor and their surroundings by giving them an equal presence on screen
I believe that the best answer for this question is "are." You are referring to two parties here, both the lion tamer and the clowns. This would mean that your applicable verbs must also be plural. Since "are" is the plural version of "is," it is the most suitable word to use in this situation. Hope this helps.
