The film Love Actually begins with a montage sequence of people arriving and being greeted at Heathrow airport. The song 'Glasgow Love Theme' plays in the background, and there is voice over by one of the film's protagonist's. The footage is actually real - Richard Curtis had a team of cameramen film at Heathrow Airport for a week, and whenever they saw something that would fit in, they asked the people involved for permission to use the footage. This makes the film seem much more raw and realistic, and this interlinking of fiction and reality almost makes the rest of the film seem more real - it helps to draw the audience in.
