By making fake blood we could find out which blood was best to use in our horror opening title sequence. To do this, we made and tested fake blood made out of different ingredients, so we could see which ingredients worked best and which blood was the most realistic. We wanted to make blood that looked good when it was spat out, splattered on something/someone and when it just stained clothes.
The ingredients for fake blood - (1)
- Golden syrup
- Water
- Red food colouring
- Chocolate sauce
Conclusion -
The colour of the blood was good, however it would've been more realistic if it was slightly darker which could've possibly been achieved by adding more chocolate sauce however this would,ve changed the viscosity of the blood. When the blood was spat out of the mouth nd down clothing it looked realistic and dribbled down the clothing well. However, when trying to splat the fake blood its didnt splst well therefore making it partly insuccesful.

The ingredients for fake blood - (2)
- Cocoa powder
- Water
- Red food colouring
- Flour
- Golden syrup
Conclusion-
The colour of the blood was too dark, it would have possibly been a more realistic colour if there was less cocoa powder in it, making it a bit lighter. When the blood was spat out and sribbled down clothing it looked very realistic and spread well, its viscosity was also siilar to real blood. When the blood was splat over clothing it splat well but not as well as some of the other fake bloods, and it would have been better if it had splatted further over the clothing.

The ingredients for fake blood - (3)
- Ketchup
- Golden syrup
- Water
- Red food colouring
Conclusion -
The overall texture and colour of the blood looked very much like ketchup and less like fake blood. When the blood was spat out it did not dribble well and was too thick. Also, when splatted the blood didn't splat, it just hit the clothing, possible because the viscosity was very thick.

The ingredients for fake blood - (4)
- Sugar
- Cocoa powder
- Water
- Red food colouring
Conclusion -
The color of the blood was okay, if it was a bit lighter and more of red colour it would've been more realistic. When spat out and dribbled down cothing the fake blood fell well and was very realsitic when spread about the clothing. When the fake blood was splat it was the best, it splatted all over the clothing and looked very realistic.

Overall conclusion -
From making multiple versions of the fake blood we decided fake blood (4) was the best. It was realistic in viscosity and was also very realistic when spat out and when splatted over clothing. The blood also contained only 4 ingredients one of which being free so it is very cost effective. For this reason we decided fake blood (4) would be the best fake blood to use in our trailer.
