Prop Ideas

Almost all horror/thriller films, have some blood in some sort of way, either someone being murdered or hurt. In our film, we will need blood for the protagonist when he falls in the mountain biking scene, and also for our antagonist when he takes the protagonist to his bunker. We will need to learn how to make both oxygenated(fresh) blood and deoxygenated(old) blood. We found that the recipe below works best for our purposes on this

·         1/2 cup (118 ml) tropical fruit punch (Hawaiian Fruit Punch® works great.)

·         1 cup (237 ml) corn syrup

·         2 tablespoons (30 ml) of red food coloring

·         1 tablespoon (30 ml) of chocolate syrup

·         2 tablespoons of cornstarch

·         1 tablespoon of powdered cocoa

This blood will be very essential to our film because the blood will be our main prop for the scary aspect of the film. We do not want to use weapons or crazy props for the film, simply because we do not have a budget for these props. We will most likely make some props as we are going to make the fake blood, I believe that this will helps us make our film more personal to us as we created the props we are using for the film.
