One aspect to be considered is creating convincing special effects make-up for the beaten and bloody Tom and for Deans knuckles. In my A-level film class we made a zombie film and had to come up with similar wounds and fake-blood formulas. The most common would be the food colouring and syrup mixture which creates a realistic consistency, however when it dries the colour is too bright, but this should not be a problem as it will be freshly applied for shooting our scene. Another involves petroleum jelly (such as vaseline), cocoa powder and colouring for crustier wounds.
To create the wounds themselves I sculpted them using layers of liquid latex which was then blended in with make-up.
In the coming days I will practice making swollen and shredded knuckles for the sink shot and when I find a willing volunteer; extreme facial damage.
