Research - Imperial War Museum

Our group went to Imperial War Museum for research, reference and production materials. A lot of items and materials are very relevant to our set time period. There are also a lot of useful textures and objects that can be used for designing the room.


Above image is a collage I made from photos I took when our group went to visit the Imperial War Museum, where we found a lot of useful objects that could be placed in the scene as they belonged to the period of Second World War. Also, the Imperial War Museum provided us with a good historical knowledge and information regarding the war period, which could be extremely helpful concerning the context of our scene setup and the storyline.


Above image is a great example of some objects that we found in the Imperial War Museum that could be placed in our environment. This the passport of a Nazi officer that we planned to place on the desk of the office inside the main seafort as a significant target for the British army.


Above image is another example of some useful objects we found in the Imperial War Museum. This is a posh and stylistic ashtray that should only be seen in the office of highly ranked officers. We planned to place this on the side table between two guest chairs across from where our main character should normally be sitting when he was working in the office. As this implies that only very important military figures would be sitting there for restricted conferences.
