Making the Fake Blood

Making the Fake Blood

In our movie opening, our character are covered in bruises and blood all over them. Because of this, we had to obtain some fake blood. We thought about buying it and we researched some ready made ones and worked out the average price.

We decided that the price ranges were good value and that we wouldn't mind buying them if we needed to. We then searched through them and looked through the reviews to see if any of them stained clothing.

However, in the end we decided that the package if we were going to buy it on a website like Amazon, it might arrive too late, and we wouldn't want to wait for it to come.

After we decided this, we started looking up recipes for making blood. In the end we found this website that had several recipes.

There we other websites and tutorials that had videos and pictures, but we chose this website because it had the method that used the more attainable ingredients and easier method.

The Ingredients and Utensils

• Golden Syrup
• Water
• Red Food Colouring
• Flour (to thicken)
• A Bowl
• A Spoon

Method

1. First, we put a tablespoon of Golden Syrup into a bowl.
2. We then added two table spoons of water to the golden syrup and mixed them together.
3. After the mixture was a good consistency, we added the red food colouring.
4. When we mixed the red food colouring in, we then added some flour to make the mixture thicker.
5. After, we decided that we would need more blood, so we added more water and golden syrup. 

When we finished mixing it, we left it to become thicker, like the website said to so that we were able to use it on the props, and add it to the make up that was already being put on.

After a couple of minutes, the mixture seemed stiffer, so Chayana tried it on her skin, as shown on the picture to the left. We thought that it looked realistic and it was good to use. We also made sure that it was easy to get off, and Chayana was able to get it off easily with water, which was good.
