Filming

For the interview we used a medium close up of our interviewee and framed her using the rule of thirds in which the interviewees eyeline is roughly a third of the way down the screen. The interviewee is positioned to right side of the screen as they would in any conventional documentary with the interviewer standing at the side of the camera. We filmed the interview with a white wall behind the interviewee so that the mise-en-scene would not be distracting for the viewer.
For our cutaways we filmed various clips that related to the topic of mobile phones. We filmed a clip that started with an extreme close up of buttons on a mobile phone which then zoomed out to reveal a wider shot of multiple phones. Another clip we filmed was a medium shot of a person talking on their mobile phone. We also had two clips which featured a close up of a mobile screen, one receiving a text and another showing the phones contacts.
