Torture scene
I`m planning to make a sceene where the actor is beeing tortured with chemicals by injection - Any tips for what I can do?
(- I mean, I really dont feel like trying to inject water or other liquids into my best friend... ) So, what effects should i use? - fake skin and a platic tube or something like that?
- And do you have any tips for how to "act the pain"?

It all depends on how graphic you want it to be. It would be enough to show the torturer draw the chemical with the syringe, do the classic ‘flick the needle’ shot (i.e. the torturer holds up the syringe, deploys a little of the chemical and then flicks the needle as focus switches from the torturers face to the syringe). You could then show him roll up the sleeve of the poor chap and go to jab him and at this point cut to a close up of the tortured guys face firstly jolting with eyes widening and taking a sudden intake of breath then grimacing with pain. You could also incorporate a close up of the syringe being plunged without showing the needle. To make it seem even grittier I would probably do a bit of hand held camera work – especially for the close up of the actor in pain.

You shouldn't have him shake like crazy, that will just look dumb........ You could have him shake a little bit once you inject the stuff and maybe even less before hand. Also ONCE you in ject him he should SCREAM like crazy.

Thanks for alle the tips.
I dunno if/ when I`ll be able to do this tough. - I need to rent a hut to get the right location, and people arent willing to pay... (for the hut, the food and the equipment) and I guess I understand since we`re amateurs...
Anyway, thanks for the help. I`ll let Y know if I get to make it some day.

If anyone from Britain reads this, and they watch Coronation Street - forced to by the misses - then you will know the Katie killing her dad scene shaking and twitching too much is bad. She annoyed me every time she was on the screen. It was cr**. But, the woman playing her mother was very convincing at playing upset.
With this scene of yours, it does depend on how much physical, and mental punishment he has been through when we get to the injection part. If he is fresh then he will still be pleading, swearing, attempting to get himself out of this situation. Where if he has been there for a while, and he has been beaten, and tortured to a degree, then he will be drained from the pain and bleeding. He will plead and cry, and even struggle when the man comes near him, and maybe swear and spit through blood.

considering Im related to a nurse and the head of a blood bank, I know most injections dont make much blood. What they do make, though, is limpness
for muscle contractions ect. why not jus get a muscle toning kit? they do exactly the same jobwithout the lethal ness of injecting your friends with spasm inducing chemicals

You should try to lightly paint or spray his arm with a sickly greyish color, then have his arm hang limp. Good idea with the muscle toning kit.

I thought The Cell had some rather innovative means of torturing. Although I found the movie iteself, a little choppy. It had some neat special effects. Lethal injection is typically a pretty quick and relatively painless death, hence they use it today.
