The making of the fake blood.

Fake blood is an essential prop used in my film, as blood is a significant indication that a character within the film is hurt or dying.

To make the "blood" was time consuminng as it was difficult getting the correct consistancy and colour, but it was worth it to get the correct effect for the film.

To make the blood i used;

• One bottle of Red Food Colouring
• One bottle of Blue Food Colouring
• Maple Syrup

• Flour

I mixed around 100 mls of syrup with 25 mls of flour. Once stirred i added two cap fulls of red to one of blue, and altered between the two until i achieved the correct colour.

 The blood would be applied to the actors once filming, it is described to have tasted awful, meaning the actor could only hold the blood in his mouth for a short duration of time, making the filming of the blood scene's extremely difficult.
