To do this, I firstly found an old white top because it would be more effective in clearly showing the blood and dirt. I also collected some scissors, red paints and a paintbrush.
Next, I used the scissors to cut into the top - I created a big slice at the front of the top to show where a knife had sliced through, then created a few more smaller ones, and a fourth on the sleeve.
I then ripped some of the top by hand. I decided to do this to show rips and tears from where the victim probably tried to escape.
I then mixed the two red paints together to make a deep red blood colour. I used the paintbrush to firstly paint over the top, specifically over the cut areas to show the stabbing.
Secondly, I hit the paintbrush to splash red paint over the top to effectively create a blood splattered effect.
Once the paint had dried, I took the top outside and draped it through mud to create a dirty look. This created the idea of the victim attempting to get away in a wooded area - which is the opening of our film.
This was my final product:
What went well?
I think that the splattered blood effect I created by splashing the red paint onto the top was really effective in creating a slasher costume. I also think that the use of mud and dirt on the top successfully made a more realistic look, and is ideal for our film opening.
What would I improve?
I think that using a thicker top would have been more effective in showing the tears, slashes and paint splatter because the one I used was laced so already had holes. I also think that using fake blood would have made it look more realistic rather than mixing paints, because it looked too bright to be real blood.
