Props (wound) experiment

 As the props designer I needed to find a way to produce ideas and items which were effective I devised a plan to create a flesh wound in order to play a part within our film. This was an experiment  constructed on my media studies  teacher "Mr Davies".  I believe this experiment was beneficial when creating our film because it helped create a greater effect of gore and blood which effectively cause the audience to react positive to our film .

This is a picture of the main elements when creating this wound for this experiment 

1. Water colours
2. Small soft paint brush
3. Carvings of sharp wood
4. Bluetac

By using all of these elements it will help this experiment become successful

This is where the main experiment began

Firstly, I began to use the brush to mix the water colours together to create a fresh wound the colours which were used were, different shades of red purple and blue. I began to apply the watercolours to the specific spot where the wound was going to be which was on is forearm. I do believe this was a difficult proses because I had to mix the colours to fit his skin tone also I didn't want to paint too much because the wound would look realistic.

I then began to construct the wound by fitting the bluetac around the sharp wood shard it allowed it to stay firmly on Mr Davies's forearm.
Then by using the water colours I began to apply it to the bluetac which was going to hold the wood to create the wound.   I also tried to change the consistency of the water paint which could be used to pour down the wood shard to give the gore  effect.

After I created the wound Mr Davies ran round the room wailing and showing off his new wound he managed to convince many people that the wound was real which shows its effectiveness when viewed towards the audience.

This is the picture of my finished product I do believe that this is an effective way to produce a wound using water colours. however the only negative thing was that the bluetac struggled to stay on Mr Davies's forearm
