Hello.
My name is Danny Rasmussen and I just started in film & tv production about half a year ago. Our first major (serious) project since I started is a 7-12 minute fiction film. Everything is going perfect so far.
In about 2 weeks, we'll be filming a fight scene, which involves a fine/wealthy couple (around 30 years of age) being jumped and robbed by 2 criminals in a dark ally (at night, of course).
After taking their wallets, watches, jewellery, and cellphones, the criminals ask for their wedding rings. The man then says "You can't have them. You already have all our money now please leave us alone". The criminals then get angry and one of them punches the man in face, knocking him down to the ground. His wife gets furious and tries to attack one of the criminals (they've yet to show any weapons, so the couple arent really that afraid..). Anyway... in a desperate act to get the woman away one of the criminals takes out a gun and shoots her (she wasnt really meant to be shot, but the criminal was kind of in a panic). So, she gets shot (in the stomache) and the 2 criminals run off.
Now, we are only college students. We get no money for making this project. But we all want to make it as realistic as possible and as great as possible. We have a lot of connections and are planning on sending this film to, for example, the shortfilms festival, and perhaps some of the larger TV networks here in Denmark.
So... how we get this to work? We don't really want to use fake blood.. we want the whole thing to kind of go slowly, but also quickly.. if you get what i mean...
Also, any tips on lighting?
Looking forward to hearing from you experts. :)
