A great budget filmmaking trick for filming acts of violence is:
1. Set up the act.
2. Cut away.
3. Indicate the act has taken place with sound (gunshot, slice sound, creak of rope).
4. Show the effects of the act: blood spatter, kicked over chair from a hanging, shadows.
5. Bystander reactions.
The motion in step 4 seems to make a huge difference.
This saves time & money by replacing dangerous, complicated stunts.
