Hello. My daughter has just produced this trailer/intro thing for a fictional TV show based in the 80s.

You may remember her Slenderman project from a year or so ago called Oblivious. I posted that here and she enjoyed the positive feedback from you guys, hopefully you'll be as generous with this one?

This is a normal post It looks good

This is a normal post it's good and leaning in the right direction
but as Troll says, Jack Daniels didn't get cool for another 5 years or so.
Fashion wise she should watch through 1984 Top of the Pops episodes, not for the acts but for the audience.
If she's going with the Smiths theme everything should be baggier www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPg7C3I-4bo
Graffiti was mainly crap tags and Dave woz ere, not the icony thing behind them, and that bloke needs to shave that beard off, we didn't have those back then and the girls need to crimp and perm their hair :D
On the plus side, just wandering about and sitting by concrete was pretty spot on. If she got hold of some old copies of NME or The Face off Ebay to have lying around the place that'd sell it well.

there's some 80s fag packets and/or magazine and newspaper covers from the 80s on the interwebs somewhere. In hindsight, I could have printed a few for the production.

Getting the fashion, styles and products right, I knew was going to be the hardest bit. The beard!!! That just didn't occur to me at the time. So obvious now that that's very much a today thing.

Keep them coming, we're learning from this. :)

This is a normal post This might sound super fussy
and I'd be interested to see if others disagree, but I really don't think shot glasses were a thing till well into the nineties. You see everybody doing shots in the pubs these days, but it used to be shorts in a plain tumbler, and not that often, unless it was last orders.

This is a normal post JD did start pushing in the mid eighties
I remember maybe '88 or '89 getting a JD tin with a couple of shot glasses and and a bottle in it for Christmas one year. Back to pubs though, and no, I don't remember shots being the thing they are now and it was maybe mid nineties when it took off?

In fact I think it was '94 I first went to a vodka bar in Glasgow which was of course all shot glasses, so I think you're about right.

I'm surprised about that JD marketing drive that early. The best marketing they had for me and my mates was that when Appetite for Destruction started gaining traction in about 88, released in 87 in the USA I think, the band never seemed to do a photo shoot without a bottle in hand.

if the budget is there, pick up an old stereo, some cassettes, vinyl, some digital watches stuff like that and a walkman for when they are outside.
Band posters and T-shirts would help sell it too.

This is a normal post A denim jacket, boy or girl (but not mixed in the same group).
Girls jackets with padded of ruffled shoulders, or frilled white leather.
Guys padded type jacket in flourescent pink.
Lots of perms and big waves of spray-set hair.

Checked shirts look wrong, too. And that beard. You could have someone disastrously trying to grow the weediest moustache ever though.

This is a normal post These looks are generally more 1990s
If it's a period piece it needs to almost border on parody. So here's a quick checklist...
- one big backcombed Bananarama hairdo
- one Princess Di / George Michael held-in-place-with-a-ton-of-hairspray hairdo
- one of the blokes needs to have a mullet (think Pat Sharp c1986, if you can bear it)
- one pair of legwarmers
- one copy of Protect And Survive lying around somewhere
- one Walkman with the orange foam earphones round the neck, or failing that, a ghetto blaster

Good effort, look forward to seeing more

(, Sun 22 Feb 2015, 17:07, Reply)
This is a normal post I'm not sure.
I don't think there is a central body that decides what is racist and what isn't it's all about social acceptance and what the media tells us. Singing the national anthem would appear to be socially acceptable but I have no idea why. Its basically just "La la la, I'm better than you due to the country I was born in. La la la, you are shit because you come from a different country" and singing that probably wouldn't be seen as so acceptable. I certainly wouldn't sing that or the national anthem and I have a lovely singing voice too.
