Every Frame a Painting - Text Messages in Films

A quick and short detail I would like to share. In our short film, there is a scene where the main character receives a text message. How we can tackle this little detail that most people would easily miss out? There are many ways film makers have tried and experiment with. The most common techniques would be having an extreme close up shot on the phone to show us text messages and having the characters read the message. Another recent technique film makers would use is to have text messages or text bubbles popping up around the user.

*Update 1: This scene has been replaced with a simple paper note. The reason is the phone screen doesn't look good on camera. Usually film makers add the screen onto the phone in post-production.
