Independent research.

 I have decided to do my independent research on how to make realistic-looking wounds at home with the easily available tools.  My group and I decided that we need to know how to do so because in your opening titled sequence idea there will be killing off one of the characters, so at least one of the members of our group has to know how to do a realistically looking wounds.

However, I decided to put my main focus on gunshot wounds, because we will need that type of wound in our opening title sequence. 

So, I decided to focus on that type of wound.     


To learn more about the process of doing so at home I have watched several videos. 

However, most of them include wax but due to the Covid I don't have the opportunity to buy it and it is not something that you can find in an ordinary house. 

So when I did the research I have decided to combine the following two videos to be able to produce a realistically looking wound but with the tools that you can easily find at home. 

  So this video is about how to make wounds at home but the blood for me looks very unnatural, so for the blood, I used the other video. 

In this video, an artist actually. makes that type of wound that I'm doing the research on.


The first step is to clean a part of the body that you are going to do it on with an alcohol wipe. 


Then you have to place small cotton and glue it with PVA glue.

Then it is important to let it dry, you can also do it by blowdrying it.  





The next stage is to put on some makeup foundation to hide the cotton pad, so the wound would look more realistic.



The last step is to use some fake blood to make the wound look like wood, not like some weird hole in your forehead.
