To prepare for our horror trailer my group took part in a lesson to learn about fake blood. The lesson began by watching several horror film sequences where fake blood is used.
We learned:
• How to fake blood
• How to fake sick
• How to hide the impact of punches
• How to fake being shot
• And other ways to make it appear that people have been hurt by weapons.
The main part of this session was however to learn how t create fake blood. Grenadine is syrup that is used in cocktails. This makes a good fake blood as it is has a thick texture and is eatable so it will not be a problem if it is used in someone’s mouth. To create a fake wound a layer of latex is put on the skin to outline the shape of the cut. This dries up and more layers can be added. After this eyeliner or another black substance should be added to the centre of the cut to give it a dirty inner wound feeling. The fake blood is then applied to this.
These two pictures show a finished bullet whole and an arm gash.
