Mise en scene - (props) cap gun

Four our flashback/chase scene, my group and I thought it would be suitable for one of the men to fire a gun (obviously fake) to add to the tension and compliment the up-beat tempo of the scene. Bruno mainly took charge and managed to find a cap-gun, based on a 'snub nose' revolver 'detective special' like the one used by Bonnie of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde Criminal Couple. The shape of gun indicates its malicious use as it is a commonly used gun amongst petty criminals due to it to compact size. Bruno managed to drill through the tip of the gun and recolour the orange tip to black. These modifications had a significant impact in making the gun seem more realistic, especially when fired the louder BANG it produces. Smoke also comes out the bullet chamber also creating a more realistic effect. These modifications increased the effectiveness of the 8 shot caps.
