We're alive!
After finally arriving at Heathrow after a rather long tube journey, we were all feeling very apprehensive and a little anxious of how this would turn out. Sticking to the plan, we headed straight to Costa coffee where we sat and gathered our thoughts.
We managed get bar seats over looking the arrivals so here we sat, casually as possible, trying to figure out the best way to get shots of Anna. Although we had shots in mind before we went, we knew that once we got to the terminal we'd simply have to see what was available to us, so it was all very much a game of luck.
Once we got going, we were determined not to have to return, so we all repeatedly took shots of Anna from different angles. Towards the end, we were noticing a few suspecting looks from costa staff, although this isn't surprising as we all definitely stood out amongst what seemed like only travelling business men and women. However we left feeling confident that we had got what we wanted and rather pleased that no one had stopped us, reminding each other that the airport is only a short element of our film opening so not to get too hung up on what we did and didn't get.
Towards the end of the evening we definitely were all eager to leave the terminal, as we felt we'd been there too long and were starting to get a little worried. To record the footage I found using my iphone better, as I felt it did not look so out of place and I could simply be on my phone, rather than potentially recording someone. However when I was shooting Anna coming down an escalator, two pilots did ask if I was taking pictures of them, luckily nothing else was said.
All in all, a good beginning to our many filming shoots!
