Making Fake Blood

Fake Blood

As a class we experimented with different recipes for fake blood. This helped us explore different ways of making realstic looking blood with everyday ingredients. This will not only save us money but is fun to create.Ordinary fake blood is usually unedible , so in making our own we can use it in anyway we want.

Recipe 1                    

-Corn syrup
-Water
-Food coluring

Overall this recipe was a good , thick consistancy, however the colour was too bright and unrealistic. It is also extremely hard to wash off which can cause problems. The taste of this was really sweet but not terrible to put in your mouth.

Recipe 2

-Water
-Red and green food colouring

This was not a good recipe as it was far too watery. This causes problem making it look realistic on skin and being spat out.

Recipe 3

-•Ketchup•Water•Red food coloring•Corn syrup.
-Flour

Although this mixture looked most realistic , it did not taste good in thr slightest, due to the ketchup it also smelt disgusting. To conclude this was the most effective mixture and would be best if used in my film opeing, however will not be used in the mouth.
