1970s on screen

Wardrobe should be researched for the character and date, rather than treating every seventies arrival as an excuse for the same conspicuous fashion cues. A seventies neighbourhood can be built around ordinary comings and goings, letting the vehicles belong to the street instead of presenting them as exhibits. The decade includes changes in plate treatment, so the registration seen on camera needs to follow the specific story date and the vehicle being represented.

Possible roles in a production

Close views can reveal small details such as badges and plate styling, so the art department should know which parts will be held in frame. A present-day photoshoot can treat an older car as a contrast to the location, with the intended tone described through references rather than broad nostalgia. Wide exteriors require attention to the whole traffic mix, since a carefully chosen foreground classic cannot hide an unsuitable car passing in the distance.
