    recolour red portions in after effects, or film in colour and add a filter in after effects only cut away frame by frame the black and white filter layer over what red you want visible.

    YouTube is always full of great tutorial videos - search for what you want to do and what software you're using, and you'll no doubt find a good tutorial video for it.

    Additionally to the above could create a thick, opaque, lime green solution and use chrome keying (basically greenscreening, but on the solution instead of a backdrop) to make your "blood" luminous comic-book red a la Sin City.

    Also, if you're using Final Cut Studio: it's very easy to achieve this effect using Color.
