Newsreel Bomb Footage Aston

Hi all , i am trying to find some old newsreel footage of my great grandparents emerging from their cellar in Beales st Aston after their house was bombed. I dont know who filmed it , just that it did exist?
Their one son had to have his ear stitched whilst still trapped in the rubble , and my great grandmother (Annie Arnold nee Gower) was seen emerging from the cellar with a canary in a cage.
On another note , is their any newsreel footage of the King paying a visit to Queens road Aston after the landmine devastation , as my mom remembered seeing him their that day :)
