Movie Prop Research

For this project, I went with the movie Inglorious Basterds directed by Quentin Tarantino. This movie is set in the 1940's where Germany is invading France and a commando unit is formed to instill fear among Nazis by killing them. I'm planning for my prop to be a wanted sign paper that is sitting on a desk. The paper will look slightly old, It won't be too damaged and it'll also be in a folder. Below are some examples of wanted signs from the 1940's and examples of how the desk will look like with other props that could be related during that around.
For the wanted poster, I wanted the text to be in German because of the location and time setting it was taking place in so that it seemed more authentic. I also thought the font style would be important so I chose a fading but bold font for the headings and reward price, and then a old typewriter font for the body text.
For the composite, I went with a different approach than in my original idea. I decided to use a scene from the movie where there are other flyers/posters in the background and added the one I created to the two biggest ones. I will say trying to match it with the original background was quite difficult but was able to come close to it.
