    Composite 2 shots maybe? You would have to be sure to map routes in and out of the scene and then make sure the action doesn’t cross those routes.

      Yeah. That’s about the only way that I can figure it could be done optically. Or else just fix it in post.

      From a visual standpoint I know it lacks realism if we have a man bleeding out against the bench with no footprints or disturbance to show how he got there. But visually it looks better. I’d also costume the man in very gray colours, with almost the only noticeable color being the pool of red slowly spreading. Frank Miller-ish.

        It’s starts cloudy and when the fight ends it begins to snow. As the protagonist monolgues he and the cooling corpse of his rival bleed out in the accumulating snow. Bam no footprints, two slowly spreading blood pools, monologue, fade to white.

          I’d say no dialogue. Tell the story visually.

          This man has been protecting a young kid from afar. The kid’s never met him, but this man has spent the last few months keeping the bad people away from him and it’s taken a very obvious toll on his body. Finally, in the final confrontation, he’s mortally wounded and bleeding out after killing the “main” antagonist. He goes to his grave stoically, with no one ever knowing what he sacrificed.
