I will be shooting a small indie feature that takes place in the mid 80's.
Since our budget is so low, we dont have the luxury of a lot of production design to sell the look
I'm starting to do some reasearch as to how to pull this off
I'm looking at films like the runaways which had a great 80's look
Some of the visual elements I'm taking into consideration are:
Softer glass (cooke panchros, baltars)
Saturated colors
Heavy make up (80's style)
Smoke for certain scenes, specially bars obviously
Basic primary colors like party red and green, blues, I dont think color schemes in the 80's were that sophisticated
re: David Lynch 80's films, Valley Girl,
Was hoping to get some advice and feed back
Thanks
Hi, don't forget wardrobe and hair, big recognizers of the 80's. Some good movies to look at for fashion are E.T. (what mom wore and her hair) and When Harry met Sally. These will give you a good idea on wardrobe and the you can check out the thrift stores for bargains!
