Making the fake blood...

After watching the video tutorial on how to make the fake blood, I went shopping to buy the food colouring and then following the instructions, I began to make it!


After making the blood, I put some on my hand in order to make a bloody hand print for my poster image. Below is the picture I took in which you can see the colour and texture of the blood.

Poster Inspiration


These images all inspired the creation of my image that will be used as the poster image for 'The Surgeon'. I have drawn ideas and techniques from all 3 images and used similar aspects from each image to achieve the overall image for my poster.

Today...

I watched a tutorial video on how to make fake blood, which is embedded below. I bought the red and blue food colouring and then took the image for my poster! Images for my poster will be uploaded in a future post as well as the images I took when making the fake blood.

Last week + This week...and Next week

LAST WEEK we wanted to do the photo shoot for our poster of 'The Surgeon'. Due to unforeseen circumstances, (our main character being seriously ill) we were unable to complete this task which set us behind schedule slightly.
However, Tibs and I were able to be successful in our editing process and we log and captured a good amount of our footage onto Final Cut Pro after overcoming the technical difficulties.

THIS WEEK it was mock week so it made it very difficult for things to get done, however we stayed in the muse one day after school and finished logging and capturing the remainder of our footage and also began to edit the first few scenes of our teaser. We chose the sequence of the scenes, added fade ins and fade outs and also experimented with transitions from scene to scene. I also plan to take the image for the poster this weekend to begin creating the poster on the Monday.

NEXT WEEK...we plan to wrap up the last of our filming. Log and capture it on Final Cut Pro and continue with our editing as well as begin to create the film website based on the completed poster.

This week...

Yesterday, my filming partner and I did some more shooting for our teaser. We made a plan of the shots we were going to film in our location of the train station but when we set up the tripod and the camera, a train station marshall came and informed us that we weren't allowed to film.

So...we were about to leave but since we put so much effort into planning the shots, I thought of a way in which we could modify the shots and still film without being caught (slyyyy one!)

So we managed to get good, lengthy footage in the train station, then returned back to my filming partner's Tibyaan's house to film the first few opening shots of Polina tied up to the chair breathing heavily and a close-up of her feet and hands. We then tried a new shot Tibyaan thought of on the spot which was as if Polina was about to jump out the window. That was tricky.

'The Surgeon' Poster Photoshoot Plan

These are four prospective ideas I came up with for potential photo ideas for the poster of 'The Surgeon'. I think each individual idea could be very effective if they're executed correctly.
