RTÉ journalist Philip Bromwell shot a video on iPhone and compiled a cheat sheet with shot-by-shot shooting instructions. I will use the video and the shot list as required readings in mobile production courses, and want to recommend them to anyone who needs to teach or learn mobile journalism.
The video is titled “King of Coffee,” and tells about Seivijus “Elvis” Matiejunas, who has been training around the clock as he prepares to represent Ireland at the World Latte Art Championships in Australia. This news report was shot on an iPhone 5S and broadcast on RTÉ News, Ireland’s national broadcaster, on May 14, 2014.
Based on this video, Philip and his colleague Glen Mulcahy compiled a “mobile journalism cheat sheet.” The cheat sheet contains a list of 12 key shots, each with a screen capture and a brief explanation; it also contains tips for app setting and other production preparations. For purpose of this post, I only extracted the shot list from the cheat sheet:

Interesting, but I think you will find my 5-shot technique both simpler and better – not to mention the rest of the book! http://www.amazon.com/iPhone-Millionaire-Create-Cutting-Edge-Video/dp/0071800174/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1422107155&sr=1-1&keywords=iphone+millionaire
Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed
to be on the net the easiest factor to take into account
of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while other folks think about worries that they plainly don’t realize
about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as smartly as outlined out the whole thing without having side effect , other people can take a signal.
Will probably be again to get more. Thank you
[Wow, you got spammed twice on this post. Sorry to see that.]
This is a great set of tips and I appreciate you putting up the link to the cheat sheet.
