What I have learned throughout researching

 For my project, I have decided to choose the documentary package option. For this, my entire series will be about the love for culinary arts on many different levels. Each episode will represent a different level of cooking. For my five minute excerpt I will be focusing on home cooking. 

I have started to research my topic today and found some useful tips that will help me choose the shots I will end up taking along side the questions I will be asking and useful tips for sound. 

Some of these shots include: 

  • Shots that highlight the cook's passion. (close up shot of face) (show their focus) 

  • Close up shots of hands Slicing, Cooking, Stirring, Etc. 


Sound Tips Include:
  • Amplify sound of cooking (Diegetic Sound) 

  • Put non diegetic sound over cooking and other B roll shots (voice over/interviews. 


Questions and Discussions I Could Prompt:
  • What the dish is in SPECIFIC detail 

  • Break down each ingredient and what it means to you 

  • Talk about the dish (how it originated with you whether it being family, experience , etc) 

  • What it means to you on a deeper level 

  • Why you love cooking

  • Talk about your love for culinary arts outside the dish (your blog)
