SFX makeup

Experimenting with fake blood

Me and Olivia decided to use some spray-on fake blood in a bottle from a Halloween store for our SFX in the opening. We took some test photos to show how the blood showed up on skin, as this would be important because the dead body would need to show this. It turned out very well with a nice splattering effect which we thought was very effective and would also be useful for the shot of the character washing the pomegranate juice off his hands as we could add some of this to really make it stand out. The fake blood was also very easy to wash out and didn't stain which was good and it dried very quickly, meaning we could apply it before a shot was taken and it wouldn't come off before we finished filming.
