Searching for props and costumes

We had some difficulties finding appropriate props for or thriller becase with it being set in Vietnam, we had no access to original unirforms and weaponry. Therefore, we had to improvise with what we could find.

We managed to get hold of a replica rifle and a wooden gun off our teacher for the filming, and a camoflage jacket, the jacket was used for the second main character, although they did not wear this camo in Vietnam, it was all we could use.

This picture is what they would have worn in Vietnam.

For the main character, I found s pair of green combat trousers and a green jacket, along with a military belt and Vietnam war replica helmet. I also borrowed my friends boots from the army cadets. All this managed to create a convincing Vietnam war G.I uniform and overall looked very convincing.

 

For the Vietcong sniper, we used a ju jitsu martial arts jacket, as it looks very similar to a Vietcong soldier's uniform and then made a hat resembling a Vietnamese straw hat.

A few extra props included blood capsules, fake blood, a bandage and several playing cards to place in the band around the helmet. This was everything we managed to find for the Vietnam war scene.
