Blood has always been a big part of film. Everybody is filled with it, it represents pain, injury and death. The first kind of fake blood, Grand Guignol was used in theater. Kensington Gore was used during the silent age of film with many Gothic horror films using it. Chocolate syrup is another alternative to to blood, as it is cheap and has a very good consistency, and darkness for black and white film. Lastly we have the Dick Smith method of fake blood, which is used in modern day film because of its consistency and color.
This is a pretty cool video, I like how there is a little bit of history behind each type of blood. I will definitely be going back and looking at this when I need to make some fake blood. Possibly some fighting scenes? Not sure yet, but I know I will be making some this year.
