Blood gore and ideas.
I am a film student, and I am trying to come up with something original and not overly ripped off of some hollywood splatter flick. I require ideas to build my Special Effects Portfolio, that I have been working on for a while now. I have some ideas but I want to know what people look forward to in the blood and gore of horror movies and thrillers.
Some ideas of what you would like to have happen in a movie but didn't see would be a start but really anything that you're willing to contribute would be awesome to say the least. Eventually I will have the vids posted on either the website that my partner is building or on my youtube account, but I am not overly sure yet. SO I ask you, all of you for input. So I can seriously get this ball rolling and start creating some more blood and gore.

Sweet some one who doesn't try and make me get ideas of pure excrement :P Thanks for the input yeah really red blood and wet "dry blood are annoying I know and the over the top hollywood effects generally bore me I despise the mainstream when it comes to blood and gore, I tend to work on things that look like they are oozing and recent not old if I want to make a zombie for instance the wounds try to look old and a little sticky from the decomposition growing up on a farm I know what decomposing flesh looks like. /and I will have A LOT of fun working on it and you shall be mentioned for your input when I have the finished product :D
doomflower said:You'll have lots of fun building your portfolio, I bet!! Not sure how much help I will be but here goes...
I think most effects relating to blood and gore have been done, so I advise you to either come up with something innovative that will really make you stand out in your field, or to improve upon current gore standards to make them more realistic.
Personally, I like scenes which chill my blood rather than scenes which are packed with oodles and oodles of gory overkill. The latter is great when a chainsaw or other whirring appliance is involved, however :D
Blood that is too red annoys me. Hasn't anyone in the film industry studied biology to learn the difference between oxygenated and deoxygenated blood? Also dry blood should be dark brown not still wet-looking!
Things that stay in my mind for days after I have watched a movie (eg the genital mutilation scene in Antichrist- I didn't believe what I had seen so I had to rerun the scene again 0_o wished I hadn't immediately afterwards...). So come up with new or at least disturbing ways to cause pain to the human body.
I'd say steer away from Hollywood-esque effects- I am talking about those that are heavily edited so you don't really see much (entry points, exit wounds etc I don't know the terminology!) and what you do see is either overdone (i.e. you can tell they took a squillion hours of footage from different angles and whittled it down to 5 seconds) or it's just... silly and unbelievable.
Blood flow is another factor that should be taken into account. Especially when it spurts out like a spinkler when a limb or whatever is severed. Heartbeat makes blood pulse not really spurt. But I guess that depends on what effect you are trying to achieve.
Anyway, realistic gore is best, in my book. Not much help, I know :P
