1940s on screen

Costume choices and passenger movement should be tried together, particularly where the shot needs the same entrance or exit repeated for several camera positions. Country settings can reduce the amount of street dressing, but they still need a considered view of gates, surfaces and anything moving in the background. Close views of registration plates require attention to the story date, while a wider shot also needs a check of signs and nearby parked vehicles.

Possible roles in a production

Company names and visible labels should be settled for a lorry scene, particularly when the side of the vehicle fills a large part of the image. Warehouse dialogue can take place beside a stationary lorry, leaving the vehicle to explain the workplace while the exchange between characters carries the action. Markings and unit-style details should be agreed as prop dressing, keeping the vehicle’s screen role separate from any claim about genuine military provenance.
