Prep work - t-shirt

For one of our scenes, we needed a fake blood effect, which I was put in charge of doing.
I got an old t-shirt of mine that didn't fit anymore (using Khadijah as our model for the t-shirt meant I was sure it would fit her since she's pretty small), and bought some raspberries from Sainsbury's to make sure the blood would be comically pink.

Featured: my raspberries, and a fork.
I used around six raspberries on a folded area of the t-shirt so that the leakage wouldn't spill to the back of the shirt, and pressed them in with the fork - a technique which my mum called 'forking'; I'm not sure if that's meant to be the actual term or an innuendo...

This is how the t-shirt looked after a night. It's a bit stiff where the stain is but it shouldn't be an issue as we just need to see Khadijah lying down in it.
