Blood experimenting

Fake flesh:
2 TBS corn starch
4 tps water
2 drops of red food colouring
1/4 tps cocoa mix


Instructions: Add all of the corn starch to the bowl, add 2 tps of water and stir. After, add 2 drops of food colouring.




This method of making blood wasn't carried out the way it was supposed to by my group. The final outcome was suppose to be a thick, fake flesh, however we made a runny blood. It still looked okay as blood, but it wasn't the fake flesh we were aiming for. This would be suitable for a slasher of body horror sub genre as fake flesh would often be seen in them and lots of gore is a convention.


l
Thick Dripping blood:
1TBS corn starch
2 tps water
2 drops of red food colouring
1/4 tps cocoa powder

This video shows how to make thick dripping blood. The batch made in this video came out quite well as it looks realistic in the footage. This would be ideal for film-making, especially in the horror genre in slasher films as dripping blood for murdered victims, or blood to be placed on weapons for a gruesome addition to the killers murder weapon.









Washing up liquid blood:
1/4 cup of washing up liquid
4 drops of red food colouring.

The blood made in this video was made with the addition of washing up liqiud to give the blood that thicker, more realistic look. This blood recipe looked effective when poured out and when it splattered on the paper. This would look quite effective in a slasher horror sub-genre for a wounded victim, and could add a sense of realism to the film if the audience saw this type of fake blood spilled on the floor for a pool of blood effect.
