The setting of our media project is going to, first, be a hill/cliff where the girl is writing a letter to her lover. Then it is going to be a small, old, village. An idea for the village is in Teversal. This place seems to fit the idea of a war time movie. There is also a letterbox, which can easily help with our filming. It fits the plan we have perfectly, and can make our work just that bit simpler.
Finding WWI and WWII clothing was difficult, as most of the clothing is expensive if it's authentic clothes. We looked on ebay, google, vintage clothing sites, etc, for ideas on what our character may wear. We imagine her in a dress, rather than high waisted shorts and a blouse. Most of the dresses in this time period were made of solid colour, rather than a patterned fabric.The lighting of the project, isn't going to be too important. Hopefully we'll film on a sunny day, although it may seem more realistic to have dark, gloomy lighting to suggest how awfully polluted the air would be due to the bombs, etc. The footage is going to be filmed in black & white, though, so the lighting won't be as visible as it would if we were filming in colour.
Music in in the 1930's was jazzy, and happy, so it gave people inspiration, and something to cheer them up, unlike nowadays. The popular kind of music was jazz. The main instruments were piano, clarinet, saxophone, and trumpet. (http://library.thinkquest.org/5255/1930s/1930introduction.html) 
Maybe, if the music was like that now, the world wouldn't be so awful? If people actually believed that everything would get better because of the inspirational happy music.
Music of the 1940's was called "Big Band Swing" Trumpets, Bass, Piano, Saxaphone, and Singers were common.(http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_musical_instruments_were_used_in_the_1940's).
she needs a reason to drive far away from here. she's memorized the roads and all the people she'd rather leave behind.
