Hi Everyone! Today I have another really fun topic to do research on- making fake blood. I got this suggestion from my teacher (Ms. Stoklosa) because there are certain types of fake blood that create different effects.
Blood Types
Store-Bought blood is cheap and easy. However, it is harder to come off, and can have really bad or irritating ingredients. They also last shorter and actually smell quite terrible.
Scab blood is used for making fake wounds or scratches. It is quite thick also, so a little can go a long way.
Squirt blood is a bit different. It is water-based, so it's easier to remove. It is used to cover large areas, and it is perfect for making a person look like some blood exploded in front of their faces. However, it is not ideal to create actual wounds. Splatter blood is basically the same, and comes in a spray bottle to give it a more spread out effect.
Theatre/stage blood: Used specifically for active performances, so it can also be great for a video! It is safe to use around the mouth, and it doesn't dry.
Coagulated Blood: This one is perfect for deep, thick open wounds. It is very gooey and syrupy, and doesn't drip.
