Backstage Heathrow - behind the scenes look at Heathrow Airport

Our documentary is a backstage look at Heathrow Airport, in paricular the jobs of the air crew. As a group we spent an intense week of filming at a variety of different locations in and around Heathrow. We looked at the BMI airline in particular, using locations such as; the BMI Business Lounge, the Stockley Flight Safety Training Centre, the BMI hangar and filming workings of the air crew employees on the tarmac. All against the backdrop of Terminal One.

Our intention for this documentary, was to show a behind the scenes glimpse of all the effort it takes to get a plane off the ground, highlighting the intergral roles cabin crew and engineers play in the running of an airline. We wanted to show the public a side of flying they don't usually get to see. This was an amazing experience for us, giving us a chance to film in a real and compromising environment. With all the safety and security issues we faced we are proud of the documentary we have made, we hope you find it informative and enjoyable.

Created by Ainsley Brooks, Aimee Randyll, Laura Hasson and Rachael Brewin-Caddy for our course at Uni.
