Fake Blood Research

Fake Blood Research

Before I tried to make my own fake blood, I thought it would be a good idea to research some different ways that have been successful to others.

These are the best ones that I found:
1. What you’ll need: 

• Golden syrup 
• Red food colouring 
• Blue food colouring 
• Corn flour 

Method:

Step 1 - Add golden syrup to a mixing bowl and add about a teaspoon of corn flour.
Step 2 - Add a teaspoon of red food colouring and one drop of blue dye.
Step 3 - Mix together and add more red food colouring if needed or flour if the mixture is too light.

2. What you’ll need:

• Half a cup of cocoa powder. 
• Three tablespoons of corn flour. 
• Red food colouring. 
• Some cold water. 
• Litre of boiling water. 

Method: 

Step 1 - Pour cocoa powder and starch into a mixing bowl and add some cold water.
Step 2 - Mix into a smooth paste.
Step 3 - Add red food colouring and mix.
Step 4 - Add litre of boiling water.
Step 5 - Leave to cool.

3. What you’ll need:

• Gravy granules. 
• Red food colouring. 
• Boiling water. 

Method: 

Step 1 - Pour boiling water into a jug with gravy granules (add as much as you like to get the consistency you’re after).
Step 2 - Add the red food colouring.
Step 3 - Leave to cool.

4. I also watched this video:

I am going to test all these methods and then decide what one looks the most realistic and the on that I chose will be the one that we use in our piece. The reason I thought that these four methods were the best was because they all use easy ingredients and would therefore be easy to make, hopefully with no complications.
