Costume & Props Research

Costume
When researching the types of uniform and equipment that a soldier would have in different scenarios
we found that there are many different types of uniform for soldiers.
Army - Land based occupation force, the largest of the branches

Army reserve - Non combat reserve force for the army 

Army National Guard - Combat Reserve force for the army 

After researching the different types of army recruit we have decided that our soldier would be a a land based soldiers because it then the training and the scene of combat can be more realistic.

Looking at the image we will need 

- Camouflage trousers and shirt 

- Perhaps and vest 

- A helmet 

- Pair of Boots

Props

Our main concern is weapons when it comes to props. We want realistic and professional looking props and for this we may need to buy or make the objects ourselves.

When researching the types of weapons an army soldier would have on him or her when in battle and when off we found that there are many types of weapons that they use. 

For example the types of guns range from the standard type of gun to the military guns 

 This is the standard type of gun and is from the handgun family and its best designed to shot with the gun in one or both hands for better aim. This sort of gun is the most common and is mostly seen in film with danger such as horror or adventure.



This type of gun is called a battle rifle or sometimes can be classed as assault rifle although there is a big difference the assault gun is best at
shooting at closer ranges because it has a smaller
cartridges as a contrast to the battle guns where it has a bigger cartridges which is why its was used in world war II. Both the assault and the battle guns are
from the military gun family these guns are shown
mostly in war films or also adventure.
