Preperation for horror gore

In one we lesson we learnt to recreate wounds, cuts, grazes, sick, bullet shots for our teaser trailer. Below are some pictures of some efforts to recreate a bullet wound and a cut. (Click on the pictures to see them bigger)

To recreate blood we used the non-alcoholic drink: Grenadine. This had the right consistency of blood, a nice vibrant blood colour and tasted nice. it also did not burn your skin unlike tomato ketchup. We made the wound by using latex and building up fake skin in a cut shape then filling that in with black eyeliner to make it have depth. this was then filled in with the Grenadine.

To recreate sick we were told to use  porridge oats and water, as this tasted nice and looked like real sick. For bullet shots we were told to put a little amount of greanadine in a small plastic bag that would have air in it so it could be burst and made to look like someone had been shot.
