Preperation For Our Horror Teaser

These are images of my group trying to create fake blood and wounds in class. We had a session which was held by a tutor at college who was interested in creating wounds. He was able to teach us how to create bulletholes or gashes using latex, grenadine and black substances such as eyeliner.


The latex can be applied with with a paintbrush or any try of hard tool and as it begins to dry the colour of it becomes more skin-like. It forms the outline of the wound and makes it look as thought skin is flapping. Grenadine is a fruity drink used in cocktails but is the perfect colour and thickness to use as blood. It is very sticky until it is dry but looks effective as it can drip and run down the skin without looking watery or as thick as ketchup. A black substance such as eyeliner really adds to the aesthetics of the wound, especially the bullethole as it looks like the inside of the skin rather than typical blood.
