Ben Brown live in Downing Street from what appears to be an iPhone?
I was about to say the same thing!
Ben appears to be alone in Downing Street, with his own self-setup and possibly some kind of tripod for his phone. This is presumably the level of technical quality we will soon have to get used to - whereas in the past we would have had a proper camera operator, sound engineer and probably producer at the scene.
It “gets the job done” but really doesn’t look as good on screen; while this setup would work for radio without the viewer even noticing, it is not adequate for TV in my view.
A reminder that cuts behind the scenes can be just as impactful as those in front of the camera.
