In order to film myself, I held the iPhone 7 myself to film the first cutaway. I decided to do this as it is a common shot to see when in a car on the presenters way to their next location, so it was acceptable for the shot to be slightly shaky. This shot was inspired by Stacey Dooley (as seen below of her holding a phone/camera in the back of a car).

In order to film myself for the second cutaway I used a tripod. This was because the shot needed to be still, and I wanted to film myself walking towards the camera. This was because doing this is an effective way to introduce or evaluate the information which has been discussed, and it also creates more movement to the scene. This type of shot is a convention of a documentary, which is commonly seen and used.

The 3rd cutaway which I filmed of myself was me sitting down reading headlines from my laptop. This again was inspired by Stacey Dooley's documentaries as she similarly looks up information herself to evaluate. In order to film this shot I put my phone on the table and angled it up, whilst leaning it on a book. Even though this is not the most technical way, it enabled me to get the correct shot angle I wanted, as well as a steady shot. She also was in a cosy environment, possibly a home, so I therefore used a comfortable environment, my home, but outdoors in order to get a more high key lighting.

I also included some screenshots of newspaper headlines which featured at the same time as the election. This again was inspired by Stacey Dooley, as you can see below, as she used a similar technique of looking at the front pages on her laptop, allowing the viewers to also see what she is looking at.
