Shooting a hanging scene

How do they hang you without really hanging you, I just was wondering you know the way Madhu was hanging from the rope and kicking legs in free air because the stool was knocked off from under her, to shoot the scene of the kicking legs she must be genuinely hanging from her neck for a few seconds, that must be scary right?

Thanks for making this post nafs I'vebeen wondering the same!

For a few seconds whilst they do the filming you kick your legs a few times plus hang from a rope, what about if your neck accidentally snaps? Do they really shoot it like that or is it not really done the way they showed us...perhaps she's holding onto a bar above and just kicking her legs and we don't see the bar on top, I don't know but I wouldn't risk snapping my neck for shooting a serial and I doubt anyone else would either.

That was camera trick.We felt she is hanging but must not be.No one will take risk.

even i was wondering! there was one shot where she was shown completely without d stool, not just face or legs alone. my friend was saying they wd have given her back support. camera trick? is it possible to show in full length shot. back support sounds believable. but i agree no one will do this shot without adequate safety. they will definitely not hang d actors. but i was wondering what kind of support or is it really camera angle? full length shot is it possible?

whatever it is, it looked so realistic that for a second i was shocked. thank god they didn't show this part atleast in tv segments.

mostly they do it by ... hanging the person with waist or chest and hiding the rope (or what ever they use )in the clothes
in todays epi what ever they did it was fab looked so real

To get this Madhu hanging scene perfect, camera men, director, actors, stuntmen and stuntwomen all worked with synchronisation. The end scene was camera trick which viewers felt that it was very real.

I was amazed that they pull out such a stunt! Like you said one's neck could easily snap! But I think she had support inside that dress which clearly wasnt visible to us!! It looked sooo real!
