During drafts of an OTS (Operational Training Scenario), the author used fake blood and black face paint to show wounds and bruising on a victim. For the third draft, the author mixed fake blood into the black face paint to make bruising around the eye look more recent. Fake blood was also applied around the victim's mouth and inside their mouth to depict injuries from being stabbed.

2. During each draft of our OTS, I used fake blood to
show the victim is wounded, and light use of black
face paint for bruising around the eyes and cheeks.

3. For the third draft I changed the makeup slightly, instead of water, I used some of the
fake blood on the black face paint. This made the bruise around the eye look a lot more
recent, and instead of using the black face paint on the cheeks, I used a few drops of fake
blood and spread it around a small area on the victim's face, which made it look that the
victim has been beaten recently, but not necessarily bruised. I also used fake blood by the
victim's mouth to make the 'Chelsea grin' and a lot inside the victims mouth, to spit out
after he was stabbed in the stomach.
