Props for main character

Props for main character

As my film is a war film my main actor will have guns and a helmet to make the genre more clear and to make it more realistic and accurate to what war is actually like. My actor will be playing a soldier from the 101st Airborne unit, so in order to make my film as realistic as possible I will have to use equipment and weapons that were in use by the US military during WW2. 

The guns I will be using for my main actor is an airsoft Thompson sub-machine gun as this gun is a replica of what would have been used by US troops in WW2, the other gun my actor will be using is an air pistol which is a copy of a Colt 1911 that would have been used by US troops in WW2 also, by using these props it will make my film more realistic and more historically accurate to the time in which my film is set. The guns will add a sense of danger and will also make the genre of my film more clear as guns/weapons are seen in war films.
Guns/weapons are going to be an important feature in my film as all of the actors in my film will be equipped with a gun or weapon and also guns will make the genre of the film more clear. 




My main actor will be wearing a helmet as soldiers had to wear helmets during the war, by having a helmet it will make my product more realistic and more historically accurate. The helmet I will be using is an old US army helmet which is almost the same to the helmets that were used in WW2.









This is the uniform of a 101st Airborne soldier, that I am going to try and replicate for my actor to wear in my film. I will try to get my actors costume as close to the real thing as possible, as I want to make my film as realistic and as historically accurate as possible so that it is more believable for the audience and also that it makes more sense instead of having a film set in WW2 and using modern day weapons and uniforms.
My actor will not have all of the equipment that a real 101st Airborne soldier would have been issued with because my plot is that my actor has been 'in the field' for a while so could have lost or broken some equipment while in battle.

I have a jacket that my actor can use that has the correct 'screaming eagle' insignia of the 101st Airborne on it, this will make my product realistic and authentic. Also with having the correct insignia it will help identify the soldier in my film and that he is the main character.
