MAKE UP
What we used:
- Tissue paper
- Wax
- Face paint
- Liquid latex
- Fake blood
- Foundation
Although we do not plan to use any fake wounds in our teaser trailer, we thought it good to learn how to make scars and open flesh wounds in case we wanted to put any shots involving them later on.
Fake Blood Workshop
Recipes
Chocolate blood (edible)
- 1/2 cup Warm Water
- 4 Tbsp Golden Syrup
- 1 Tbsp Powdered Cocoa
- 1 tsp Red Food Colouring
Realistic Recipe (edible)
- 2/3 cup Golden Syrup
- 1/3 cup Warm Water
- 5 Tbsp Corn Starch
- 4 tsp Red Food Colouring
- 1 Tbsp Powdered Cocoa
- 2 drops of Green or Yellow Food Colouring
peppermint blood (edible)
- 2/3 cup Golden Syrup
- 1/3 cup Water
- 5 Tbsp Corn Starch
- 3-5 tsp Red Food Colouring
- 2-3 drops Green Food Colouring
- 1 drop Peppermint Extract (optional)
Peanut butter blood (edible)
Use smooth or creamy peanut butter for better results. Chunky peanut butter will add a coagulated look, but it's harder to work with.
Slowly mix in golden syrup until the desired consistency is reached. As the mixture ages, it will thicken a bit, providing more realism.
Add single drops of red food colouring until the mixture is dark red; the darker the better - it will look more like real, drying blood.

- If wished, add a bit of chocolate sauce or chocolate fudge for a darker colour.
- If you want a thicker mixture, slowly add corn starch (in very small amounts) and mix evenly.

Add 200ml of water.
Add a few drops of food colouring.

This blood can be washed out of clothing as it doesn't stain. Do not use this blood with water as it will froth, and real blood doesn't froth.

Conclusion
We decided to use the most simple of bloods in our trailer: washing up liquid blood. We chose this recipe as no one in our trailer would need to be eating it as our focus was on hands and playing cards. It also gave a realistic, deep colour and slightly gooey consistence which looked the best on camera.
