PROBLEM!

Unfortunately, when I begun to edit my I realised that half of it was missing and half of it wasn't very good. This means that I need to start re-filming!

As you can see, the sound is extremely quiet and  isn't salvageable.

Blood and Gore

In today's lesson we created fake blood out of ingredients found in the average kitchen cupboard, these include;
(please click on the images to enlarge)

This method created “blood” with one of the best consistencies (it was fairly runny and lacked thickness, but was not watery. This could be fixed with the addition of more maple syrup). The colour was a dark shade of red and when dropped onto the table the splatter was a dark shade of red with light red around the outside, this gave the “blood a realistic look. It mostly tasted of chocolate and syrup and smelt sweet; this would be useful if used on the face or in an actor’s mouth.

The second method was very watery; however surprisingly resembled blood. It looked too runny to use in large amounts or on actors; however, would look excellent if thrown on a wall or floor to create the idea that somebody is hurt.  The substance tasted of water with a slight twinge of sugar (from the food colouring).

The third method was a bit of a runny consistency and obviously tasted of chocolate. It created a good appearance of blood on a surface; however did not look realistic on skin. It would however, be an excellent method of blood for throwing up. 

The fourth method of blood was not realistic and looked too dark and thick. It was gloupy and had lumps in that were difficult to mix out. The final creation looked unrealistic and almost like a sauce.

The fifth method was of a disappointing consistency, it simple looked fake, watery ketchup. The colour was far too bright a red and although it had a nice taste, would be unsuitable for use as realistic blood in a film. I think that combined with the sixth method this was the worst fake blood that I have practiced with.

The sixth blood was basically a thick version of ketchup. It was a bright red colour (from the ketchup) and a sticky consistency (from the corn syrup). The red and blue food colouring was supposed to even out the colour of the blood; however, did not achieve the desired effect. On the skin it looked extremely fake and so, there was no way in which I could use this type of fake blood.

 My favourite fake blood type was either method 1 or 2, this is because the consistency was right (just thick enough) and was of the correct dark red colour, resulting in a realistic blood
