Heathrow Filming

On Thursday last week we completed our trip to Heathrow Airport. We jumped on the Piccadilly line for an hour and a half and luckily we all had work to get on with; Rachel's attempt at writing an essay on her phone was interesting! Once there, we had no idea what was in store for us, so our best option was to sit down, have a cup of tea and gather our thoughts. As we were at the third busiest airport in the world, we knew we could not spend ages there and we had to be as discrete as possible. We all grabbed some form of videoing device and surprisingly we filmed most of the footage on iPhone's which was actually very good quality.

Lucy, Rachel and I each filmed Anna from different directions so when we merge the footage it should all flow. We have an idea of rapidly showing a variety of angles of Anna walking through Arrivals in our film which connects with our genre of Action as it will be very fast and lively.  As well as the shots coming out of Arrivals we also have some footage of the toilets and her starting her transformation in to the spy. Our footage of the toilets was a really good starting point as we knew the shots we wanted, but we were all very aware of the time we were spending in the toilets and completely forgot that we had to keep redoing the shots from different angles. We now have started filming from our school toilets which in fact look very much like airport toilets and we have the time to ensure we get the correct angles. All in all our time at Heathrow was memorable, we got the footage needed, relaxed and had some tea, and we even managed to ask a member of staff to take a picture of us with the Christmas tree. Success!
