This video is by two professional actors who specialise in stage combat. Here it shows two different ways how to perform a fake choke hold:
For my video, I think the second hold looks most effective. This is because it seems easier to conceal when the camera is close-up due her hands being less visible behind his so the audience cant see that it's staged.
Before we film this scene, I want to practice this technique with Ashley and Paula to ensure that it is performed correctly without anyone hurting themselves. Additionally, it will allow them time to master the hold so that it looks effective and realistic on camera.
