"Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger.
--George W. Bush
In my trailer I want to have a shot from inside a plane cockpit so the audience can get the feeling of being in the plane as it is about to take off. By doing this I feel that the audience will be able to have an understanding of what it would have been like to be on the plane amongst all the passengers unaware of what is about to happen.
I feel that a shot similar to the picture on the left will allow the audience to realise that September 11th started off like any other day with people going to work, planes taking off and childrening going to school and yet amongst all of this normality a group of terrorist had planned to change the world for ever with their actions that would later occur.
I got the idea of using a cockpit scene in my trailer from watching the trailer for 'United 93' which shows the pilots talking about it being a clear day and what they were going to do at the end of the day.
In order to achieve this shot I have got in contact with Oxford City Airport and Oxford Aviation Academy http://www.oaa.com/pages/about_us/fleet/simulators/B737CL who have put me in touch with an employee who I am currently in contact with about using one of their simulators and film a training session in order for the shot to be as authentic as possible.
