Making fake blood helped us to taste and test which blood to use in the horror trailer. It was helpful as we were able to see how affective and cheap it is to make fake blood. The simplest of ingredients made the blood come out really well, for example for brains or a blood spray from a chainsaw.
For example in the film Carrie they use fake blood to represent pigs blood in the film. It's very effective with dark colour to almost look like real blood. |
What went well?
The blood was very quick and easy to make. We used all the correct ingredient to make the blood and at the end it was a fresh mint flavour with a good blood texture and blood colour. The edit of the video was also good because we used good music that matched. What did I learn? We learnt that the quickest and easiest way to make a lot of blood was to use the cheapest washing up liquid possible. This is really good but it can't be done in wet weather as it will bubble. Its also not edible. What were the problems? After we made the blood, we tasted it and the mint was way to strong. When we was editing it we found it difficult because the camera wasn't steady so we had to find the best shots to use. What would we do differently next time? We would definitely use less mint so it tastes nicer. We would also use a tripod when it comes to filming the blood making and we would also take it outside and use it for the testing. |
