1940s on screen

Photographs of the intended place and period are more useful than a single familiar image when choosing the mix of traffic for a street sequence. Cars already in use before the decade can belong in a forties street, so a background selection need not consist only of newly dated models. Costume choices and passenger movement should be tried together, particularly where the shot needs the same entrance or exit repeated for several camera positions.

Possible roles in a production

A departure from a quiet address can let the coupé’s shape remain incidental, keeping the audience’s attention on the last exchange before the journey. A coupé parked outside a venue can be ordinary character transport, without needing speed, spectacle or an invented account of the journey to make the scene work. For dialogue beside an American car, the action can remain small and ordinary, with greetings or loaded belongings giving the vehicle its reason to be there.
