The Making of the Blood

We needed to make fake blood for a few of our scenes so i was tasked researching and making fake blood.

I started by researching on the internet on how to make fake blood. I found many ways to make it, but i asked a few people i know and found out that during paramedic training to simulate blood they use just washing up liquid and red food dye. The other ways ive found use things like syrup, water, flour and food dye but i thought this was to complicated. I also found ways to make movie quality according to the site, you should use hair gel, chocolate syrup, water and red food colouring.

I chose the paramedics method due to the price and that it was easier to make larger amounts, and different viscosities.






Ive done this to show the difference in viscosity's. The one on the left is thicker and hasnt been absorbed into the paper, the one on the right is made from cheaper washing up liquid but is thinner and has been absorbed into the paper.
