1990s on screen

A recent-history street needs more than a nineties vehicle, with shopfronts and carried objects helping to distinguish the scene from an otherwise similar present-day location. The clothes and bags around a parked car can help describe a character’s day, while remaining separate from any assumptions about the history of that particular vehicle. Phones and other carried items can change the reading of a nineties scene, so close action around a vehicle should be checked alongside the wardrobe and props.

Possible roles in a production

Entrances and exits deserve a rehearsal with the roof as it will appear on camera, so performer movement is planned around the actual arrangement. A convertible in a stills shoot can keep the roof state consistent while the photographer changes position, avoiding an unexplained difference between related images. Hair, hats and loose costume details should be rehearsed for open-top action, especially when performers need to repeat the same look between camera angles.
