1970s on screen

Deliveries and trades can add everyday movement to a seventies exterior, with livery checked separately so the lettering supports the fictional workplace being shown. Luggage and shopping can make a family departure easy to read, leaving costume and surrounding buildings to establish the seventies context without an explanatory close-up. Rural seventies scenes require care with road surfaces and roadside details, since fewer buildings do not necessarily mean fewer modern elements in the chosen view.

Possible roles in a production

Continuity photographs are useful when a classic is seen across several angles, particularly where doors, luggage and performers change position between takes. Wide exteriors require attention to the whole traffic mix, since a carefully chosen foreground classic cannot hide an unsuitable car passing in the distance. A departure can begin at the front door, with the walk to the car providing a useful stretch of action before anyone gets inside.
