For our main character Robyn, playing the girl hit by a car- i created fake blood using a simple internet tutorial and my own initiative instead of purchasing a artificial unrealistic fake blood elsewhere. The fake blood we used was a concoction of red food coloring for the deep red, cocoa powder to give it a more realistic and scab like tone, golden syrup to create the curdled thickness and icing sugar and water to allow the mixture to come together. When i got the perfect realistic color i applied it to all the likely affected places of the actor. before applying the fake blood directly onto the skin i used a special powder mixed into a paste to create a base for the cuts and wounds and make them rise of the skin and appear deep and more major and defined. without the powder paste applied to the skin the wounds wouldn't look realistic as genuine cuts have texture and depth not just a smooth appearance. for the facial wounds, application of the fake blood was careful using a paint brush and cotton buds, additionally, i changed the tone of the color adding more dye throughout so the cuts were not all one hue. however, for the blood elsewhere on the actors body, less care was taken and the blood was splattered on with a larger brush and wiped on the outfit of the actor to make it seem messy,uneven and not neat or planned. For this, i had to use an outside environment to limit mess.
when applying the makeup and special effects i particularly focused on one side of the body because the girl was only hit on one side of her body, meaning there was a contrast in the appearance of the girl from fairly normal and healthier looking on one side of the body and face- and severely hurt on the other. The bleeding nose and ear is usually a sign after roadside and collision type accidents of death or serious internal injury so i purposely created a prominent focus on intense bleeding here to show the severity of the accident and death. On the actors face i also created bruises using a range of dark purples and browns after researching how bruises develop in color over time. For the actors hair, i wanted the curls to show beauty, but in a warped way as the curls are strewn across the roadside and in a tangled messy state.
