Underwater Experiments

We began our growing list of 'things to do' by doing an underwater experiment. We used the Sanyo VPC-WH1EX camera to achieve this. The quality of the film was very high, and would work nicely for our titles. We are excited to use this in the real thing!


We experimented using watercolour paints, acrylic paints, and generally looking at what the world looks like underwater.

This is what we have learned:
  • Water colours look very thin underwater and don't look like blood due to it's colour
  • Acrylics didn't look like blood either, although we did like the murkiness of water
  • We have yet to find fake blood that looks appropriate.

    This will be a very powerful intercut in the film - what about if it is dark in the kitchen - have you considered that and how it will look in the dark - would you see the blood in the water?
