Westminster Mile- SECONDARY RESEARCH

1.
For my Secondary Research on The Westminster Mile, I went onto this website the Royal Parks website to find out information on this location and where people where actually running the Westminster Mile race from the start to the finish line.
The link for the website is:  http://www.royalparks.org.uk

I then went onto the BUPA Westminster Mile website to find out more information about the race. I found out that the schedule of the different races and that the event starts at 09:30am. I also found out that the races taking place are:

• Families
• Adults & Vets
• Juniors
• Elite Athletes
• Wheelchair Users

I also found out that, well known Athlete, Mo Farah will be there and Paralympic Athlete Legend David Weir will be participating in the Westminster Mile as he's aiming to become the first athlete to complete the mile in under 3 minutes.

I then went onto the following link: 'http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/the-running-blog/2013/mar/01/ten-best-running-documentaries' and clicked on this documentary called 'Personal Best - official UK trailer', (shown below).

This documentary follows four British sprinters as they all compete to represent their Country at the games. This video shows the hopes, fears, grit and pain that these Athletes go through as they prepare themselves physically and mentally through their sport.
Watching this documentary made me realise the struggle that people go through, in order to achieve their goals at the finish line of the race. It also showed me how determined they are to complete the race to the best of their ability.
I also had a clearer understanding on what The BUPA Westminster Mile is all about and I was able to see the different camera shots that they use during this event so that when I film the Westminster Mile, I could include a few of the camera shots that I saw throughout this video. A few voxpops were also seen in this video, so I had a clearer idea of how I could use voxpops in my video.
