Behind The Scenes: Costumes and Props

For a war based film intro we had to get appropriate costumes and props so army Jackets, guns, and something a Vietcong would wear. The picture on the right is an American soldier in the Vietnam war this is what Ben was going to wear and lucky for us he already had most of the stuff that made up this costume. We could get the same type of gun from Mr Silverwood, the Jacket and trousers and especially the equipment he's carrying was all down to Ben. The picture on the left is Ben as seen he has a very detailed replica of the American soldiers costume it highlights most of the things the American soldier has and makes a suitable costume for the main character. Also the clothes Ben is wearing didn't cost us anything because he already had those clothes in his house thanks to his Grandma and his obsession with war. I too had to get an American costume but my guy was also injured so I had a bloody bandage around my head. Also my Jacket was camouflaged as opposed to plain like Ben's was I hoped this would distinguish us.


For a Vietcong soldier we needed to get Alex mostly Black clothes and a straw hat or a helmet. The picture on the right is a picture of a Vietcong soldier from the Vietnam war, as seen they are Asian, wear black and have little to no equipment or backpacks. The picture on the right is Alex who plays the Vietcong in our thriller opening we got her a Ju Jitsu jacket which looks similar to what the actual soldiers wore and a home-made straw hat which was also what they wore back then. By comparison between both characters we did a pretty good job on the costumes.
