Today we filmed the last scene of our teaser trailer; scene with the fake blood, this was and most probably will be by far the most adventurous and time consuming scene that we attempt as we only had 1 and a half hours to shoot and clean up before the next class came into the room. This scene involved our helpful teacher from the previous day of shooting to lie down in the sticky mix for a long period of time as we shot around him from a wide selection of angles with numerous characters in view at different times. We used such a large range of shot as we were unsure which one would make it into the trailer and we due to the mess it made, the irreversible staining to clothing and the difficulty it took in cleaning the room afterwards it would be impractical to do again.
Prior to the filming of this scene we found and tested the recipe we found on-line as to not waste time finding the right consistency when mixing and the overall effectiveness of the mixture (how similar it looked like real blood in the camera). We found the recipe that we used at
www.wikihow.com with it
consisting of;
- 97% Golden syrup
- 2% Corn folour
- 1.7% Red food colouring
- 0.3% Blue food colouring
We also found found out hat by adding milk chocolate drink powder to the mix gave it a more solid look and fell to to it.
