1980s on screen

A business park offers different background traffic from a residential close, so the location references should guide the mix of cars before the lineup is chosen. Costume and small carried props can identify the working day, while the vehicle supplies a separate cue to the period without telling the audience who a character is. Weekend departures in an eighties setting can begin at the house, using the loading and greetings to convey the journey before any travelling action is filmed.

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. Wide exteriors require attention to the whole traffic mix, since a carefully chosen foreground classic cannot hide an unsuitable car passing in the distance. Continuity photographs are useful when a classic is seen across several angles, particularly where doors, luggage and performers change position between takes.
