Realistic syrup blood - this method had the right consistency, fairly runny but not watery, however it came out as more of a brown colour than red. When it was dropped onto a surface it splattered out to give a realistic look. It mostly tasted of chocolate and syrup which would be good for my actors as it doesnt taste revolting.
Simple red blood - the second method looked a lot like blood as it was a simple water based style. It looked too runny to use in filming and probably too bright red, it needed to be darker and thicker. It tasted of water with food colouring in it.
Chocolate blood - the chocolate blood was a rather brown colour due to the cocoa and chocolate syrup being added, this meant that it tasted of chocolate a lot. The thickness was good as the powder thickened the water up, when dropped from a spoon it splatted nicely but could of spread more.
Tomato blood - this version was very good as it had a good viscosity and colour, however maybe slightly too bright. The drops parted well. It had a very strong ketchup flavour which would not be good if my actors don't like tomato ketchup.
Golden syrup - the last one we tried was this golden syrup one. It was very sticky and fairly thick as the syrup made everything stick together. It tasted good as it was mostly syrup, when dropped it didn't spread as much as i would of liked.
