EXT. BEACH - NIGHT
CINDY is walking through the shallow water on the shore, while JAMES films her.
CINDY
What're you doing with that camera, JAMES, you some kinda perv?
JAMES
Psh, you’re hilarious. No, I just figured since we’re living with each other now, we should have some home videos. You look great on camera!
CINDY
Well that's not pervy, that's cute! I love you so much!
CINDY begins to run towards JAMES.
JAMES
I love you too! Hey, be caref...
CINDY slips and falls, smashing her head on a rock. She lies motionless.
JAMES
CINDY!
JAMES drops the camera and runs to CINDY. He tries CPR, but realizes she's gone. He begins to cry.
JAMES
(Off screen)
Well I couldn't just leave her there...
Okay, so that's the mentioned scene. What MY question is, is how would we create the scene of her falling and cracking her head on the rock without harming the actress? Its going to be filmed like a home movie, so I was thinking that I want her to fall on the rock, and have her head end up on the ground behind the rock out of view, and have some blood leak out into the sand around the rock. In my head, the scene looks great. So yeah, any help is GREATLY appreciated.
