For one of our scenes we wanted to create a hanging scene in which we were to hang one of our actors but safely of course. To do this we needed a desolated place in the woods where it wasn't near a path as this would seem the most idealistic also as we were filming in a public woods we didn't want to alarm the passers by with our scene. We did have a few dog walkers asking what we were doing in which we explained exactly what we were filming for and how we were going to do it without actually hurting anyone.
As you can see here below we had one string tied tightly around the tree making it look like it was wrapped around the actors neck. We then had another rope loosely wrapped around their neck making it look tighter than it actually was by bulking it up. So when the actor were to stand in front of the hanging rope it would look like she was dangling from the tree when in fact she was stood on a chair just in front.
I think that by doing it this way was the safest but real looking way to achieve what we were aiming for and overall I believe it was quite successful.
