To create an authentic looking piece, various elements are required to build this. this can be created through the use of make-up, costumes and hair. All of these will contribute in making the audience believe they are watching something from the past, it will grasp the audiences attention and ensure they believe they are watching something from the Second World War
The actor playing the soldier can made-up to make them appear like they are fighting a war. This effect can be achieved through the use of make up to create the impression that the soldier has fought in dirt, make-up can create this impression. In addition, the use of fake blood can be used to make the soldier appear damaged, it gives the impression that the soldier has been hurt in the war. the desired effect will be like the image to the left
The make-up will be purchased prior to the shoots and applied on the day before we begin filming.
Furthermore, the use of props will be required to make the piece appear authentic. A Second World War rifle will be needed, a rifle will be required that was was used in the war to add similitude to our piece. I will make the audience believe that our film is set in the war because the rifle featured was used during WWII
To add to the authenticity of the soldiers character, he will also be provided with a M9 pistol prop. Similar to the rifle, the pistol adds similitude with the Second World War. It will make the audience believe they are watching from the perspective of 1939.
Next, a uniform from the Second World War is needed. these uniforms are synonymous with the army and WWII therefore, it will make the audience believe they are watching a soldier from the past.
The uniform will have bland and avery dark colours, this is done to connote to the soldiers dark past. The darker and dull colours on his uniform will suggest to the audience that the character is untrustworthy, dark colours are often used in the media to tell the audience that this character is evil or treacherous.
Furthermore, the uniform is dark could because it has similitude with the war. No uniform was brightly coloured on the battle field during the Second World War.
The actor who is from the present will be wearing casual clothes, no special costume is required because their character is set in present day. The audience needs to believe that this character is set in 2017, it also ensures that the audience knows the difference between the character from 1939 and 2017.
An old book will be featured throughout the film opening during the scenes in the present. The book needs to be withered to give the impression that it was written decades ago. Furthermore, the book needs to look like it is expensive because it contains secrets and documentations from someones life. An expensive looking book is used a lot is films about reminiscent and it has become a cliche with this genre
A World War II medal is needed for the award ceremony scene. The medal is needed to show the soldier was awarded for his services, the medal also needs to be from WWII because the film opening is set in this period
Another requirement for our piece os a field. Various outside scenes will be shot in a field, the field will be open and will give the impression that the audience is watching from the perspective of 1939. In addition, there will be no visible buildings therefore the audience will believe these scene are in the past. Fields were commonly used in the war for trench warfare, thus a field will create a similitude with warfare in the Second World War
The soldier's hair will need to be changed to make him appear like he's from the 1940's. The hair will need to be changed so its appropriate for the time, in this instance, its for the 1940's. Changing the hair to something similar to the above image will make the audience believe they are watching a character from the past. It immerses the audience into the performance

A number of scenes will be shot in a bar, all these scenes will be from the present and not from the Second World War. In these shots, the actor from the present will be reading from the memoirs inside the bar. A bar often connotes to modern times and doesn't relate to the Second World War, the audience will know when scenes are in the present.
Furthermore, various films have used the shot where someone read to the audience from a book in a bar. A bar was required to recreate this cinematic cliche
