I experimented with capturing news using different mediums. For this video clip, I used my mobile phone, which is a low range Samsung Smart Phone. I found that while it does do its basic job, audio is a big problem as the microphone is poor. Obviously it’s designed to be a telephone. Not having a tripod is also a massive disadvantage as you can tell from the camera movements. Regardless, a mobile phone is a key tool for citizen journalists all over the world. As it is a telephone, there’s nearly always one available, in your pocket or from someone you’re with. There have been times in the past, and there will be times in the future, when a mobile phone will be the only recording equipment available and it will have to do.
