Blood Development


For our film opening we are looking at using the idea of dead people in a dolls house, to create more fear in the scene we thought it would be interesting to show that one of the victims was only just recently killed, to show this best we thought it would be interesting to show blood slowly dripping out his mouth, here we have looked at this idea by creating different bloods. My little brother volunteered to do the acting but being young he seemed to move a lot but the essence of the idea is still shown within the videos and it is more focused on the actual blood than the acting its self. To create the blood we made ice cubes out of different liquids including: food colourings, coffee, icing sugar and high juice we decided to use ice cubes as it would be difficult for the actor to hold liquid in his mouth for a long time also it doesn't puff out the cheeks like liquid would.
blood experiment 1 - we liked this one, the dark red was reminiscent of a strong blood, and we thought the thickness was believable, the thickness of the blood meant it didn't just all spill out

blood experiment 2 - this one being just high juice, when being mixed with saliva created an over watery feel making the blood very unbeliveable

blood experiment 3 - we liked this one but felt that it was slightly too light in colour as well as it being too thin meaning it all spilt out at once

blood experiment 4- we liked the difference in texture within the blood, there were some really thin bits contrasted with thick lumpy parts, although this is the case we felt that the blood was too light in colour

blood experiment 5 - we liked this one but felt it was too thin in texture, also it had hardly frozen during the 3 days in the fridge meaning it was impractical to use

After looking at all the videos, we felt that the best results came in the form of experiment one, which we shall be using in our video
