The video shown to the audience through Elliott's phone features an unidentified flying object passing over a bridge on screen behind a news presenter. However, the original sound which accompanied this video was not about UFOs, as it was taken from the BBC morning news segment, so we dubbed the voice over from another video on top of this one. We lined up the point in the video which homes in on potential extra-terrestrial with the point where presenter reports on "flying saucers" as a way of adding to the verisimilitude as for it not to be obvious we used a different voice over.
We decided on using the video with a different voice over rather than an actual UFO video for a few reasons. Firstly, the majority of the videos available are American and we thought this would be unrealistic as the map clearly shows places in the UK. As well as this, there is a typical 'British news' feel to the look of this video, making the discovery seem plausible as it is discussed on the BBC. Thirdly, the title which appears under the video on the text message doesn't specify a year, whereas many other videos showed a previous date, which would contradict the fact that this was meant to be 'breaking news'.
