Plans For Cutaways

As in the interview my group and I had planned to ask 14 questions, we thought it was a sensible idea to have an equal amount of cutaways. We brainstormed and listened to each other's ideas on how the cutaways should be relevant to the question they are placed with. For example when the interviewee mentioned in their answer that they mainly get mobile phones for their birthday, Chloe and Natasha recorded myself unwrapping paper which said "Happy Birthday" to find a mobile phone.
Below are a list of cutaways which we used;

* The colour pink as the interviewee says their phone is pink.
* Unwrapping a birthday present (mobile) as the interviewee explained they mainly get mobile phones for their birthday.
* A close up of a girl texting on her phone using standard english, as the interviewee told us she does not use text language.
* A cutaway of two girls sitting back to back smiling and texting to illustrate how easy it is to stay in touch with friends via mobiles.
* A dollyshot of several mobile phones placed on the floor in a circle to illustrate that the interviewee has had a lot of mobile phones.
* A shot of several pieces of paper each saying a day of the week to show that the interviewee texts every day.
* A close up of two phone top up vouchers and £10 to go with the question, "How much does your phone cost you a month?"
* Another shot of two girls sitting at a table texting their friends.
* A shot of the interviewee's phone to show what they are talking about.
* A shot of the interviewee's phone ringing so the audience can hear her ringtone.
* A cutaway of someone signing a thumbs up to match what the interviewee is saying the best thing about having a mobile phone is.
* Similarly, a shot of someone signing thumbs down to match what the interviewee is saying the worst thing about having a mobile phone is.
* And finally, a shot with a Samsung Genio and a Blackberry to illustrate when the interview says people always have better phones than you.
