Location: Since I am thniking of doing a cook off, I want to be doing it outside(since the dish is a burger). I have the idea of going to a local public park that has a BBQ for the cooking video. The park that I was thinking about is Markham Park, a local park near me that I'm familar with. I know the setting becaus i have been there for multiple family reunions or BBQs.

Mise-en-Scene For the Mise-en-Scene, I was thinking that the contestants wear an apron to show that they are cooking an the critic or the time keeper wears something formal to sure that they are a well-known. Since I'll be doing a cooking video, I'll try to have the proper attire for the video. But, since we are going to be outdoors, that might be a problem. People I'll try to involve different people in the project since it is going to be like a competition. We will have judges and the contestants who are going to make the food, and the judges are going to critic the food. Still don't know yet the plot since there is different scenarios that could happen throughoiut the cooking video.

Editing- Today was a day that only focused on editing. I watch videos and saw articles on how to edit videos in apps such as Adobe Premier. For the Video project, it is really important for me to learn how to use editing techniques properly in order for the techniques to correlate with the video. In Adobe, their is a tutorial and like a manuscript on how to start your first editing video( since I don't know how to edit). Learn how to edit video | adobe. (n.d.). Retrieved February 27, 2023, from https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/video/discover/edit-a-video.html As I'm watching tutorial videos on editing, I realize how important editing is for cooking video because it can significantly improve the quality and overall impact of the video, such as, Enhancing the viewers experience and it improves the quality of the content. Mise-en-scene is really important when it comes to cooking videos because it is important to create a clean, bright, and welcoming environment that will make the food look as appealing as possible.

For my video, I have decided to use Adobe premier to edit my video because it has professional-grade features which makes the editing of a video look more complex. At first to practice, I started doing my own editing for my soccer highlights for my college applications to play soccer. I found it difficult to use the application at first, but I got familar with it, which makes it much easier for me to edit.

Shot and Composition: Finally, I want to learn what types of shot I should use for my video in order to make it more interesting and dynamic. As I am watching videos, the video takers like to use wide shots (showing the entire kitchen or cooking area), medium shots (showing the cook and the food being prepared), close-ups (highlighting specific ingredients or techniques), and overhead shots (showing the cooking process from above). Using this, it attracts the viewers attention on what is happening on the video. Foodbloggerpro. (2022, September 1). The gear we use for recipe videos. Food Blogger Pro.

Today in class, My teacher assigned us in group for peer review. Each member of my group have me constructive criticism on my video plot. They said it was a good idea to do the video I am planning. At first, the dish was going to be making was a Creme Brulee, but they told me to do a dish that involves a lot of components such as a pizza or tacos. Also, I saw their blog posts and I saw some of their work that really helped me understand the concept of what a blog post is suppose to look like. They also showed me tools and shortcuts to use in Blogger to make my blog posts better and more innovative.

Editing: I learn that in cooking videos, these techniques are the fundamentals. Jump cuts: This technique involves cutting out portions of footage to make the video flow more smoothly and quickly. It is commonly used to remove pauses, mistakes, or irrelevant content. Split-screen: This technique involves dividing the screen into two or more parts to show multiple angles of the cooking process at the same time. It is commonly used to show the cook's face and the food being prepared simultaneously. Music: Adding music can help create a mood or atmosphere for the video and can also help cover up background noise or create a sense of continuity. In most of the videos that I see in youtube or throught Tiktok, These techniques are used depending on the content or stylee of the video.

Dish: I have come to conclusion that making a burger would be the best since I am not the greatest cook to make a dish that requires techniques that take years to perfect like the crem brulee. But, I am not just going to make a plain burger, I am going to make the pickles from scratch, cut the tomatoes, caramalize the onion, possibly make the buns from scratch. This will be the recipe. ingredients: 1 pound ground beef (preferably 80/20) 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 egg 1/2 cup breadcrumbs Onions Tomatoes pickles Idea: For the project I want to do like a competition between two people on trying to make a fancy burger and they are being timed. I plot is maybe going to be one of the cooks is going to mess up such as ( burning the patty or burning their onion) and they end up pulling off the best dishes between him and the other contestant. I will record the shots of them cutting the tomatoes or cooking the patties.

Dish: As I am ressearching on the video and about the dish, I figured out making a creme brulee would not be long enough to do a video because their isn't many components in the dish except the part where you have to burn the sugar on top of the custard, in order to caramalize it. I've been thinking on doing either a homemade pizza or a burger from scratch. This dishes when made from scratch require a lot of components and ingreidents that I could use for the video. I am not sure what dish I am going to be able to do since I am moving, which is going to complicate my project. Depending on how long it takes, I would choose the dish for the video Video:

How to make a Creme Brulee Ingredients: 4 egg yolks 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 cups heavy cream 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup granulated sugar for caramelizing Instructions: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until pale and smooth. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and vanilla extract over medium heat until it just comes to a simmer. Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to combine. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps. Divide the mixture among 4-6 ramekins or custard cups, filling them about 3/4 of the way full. Place the ramekins into a baking dish and pour hot water into the dish until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Chill the custards in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crisp, golden-brown crust. Let the custards sit for a few minutes to allow the caramelized sugar to cool and harden before serving.

Making a Crème Brûlée requires attention to detail, careful monitoring of temperature and cooking times, and a bit of practice to perfect the technique. However, with patience and care, I think I can make a great Creme Brulee.

After having a dish for my video, I've been researching on how to perfect or make a Creme Brulee by watching professional chefs or 3 star michelin chefs make this dessert. This dish is really complex since you have to first make a custard and then make a burnt sugar shell on top of the dish. The dish is called Creme Brulee because it is " burnt cream".

I still haveb't finished the story board since I have to learn how to prepeare the dish flawlessly before making the final video. Currently, I am learning how to make this dessert and how to edit cooking videos since it is different.

Cooking editing videos are different from normal videos because they are typically focused on demonstrating and explaining a step-by-step process for preparing a recipe. This requires a different approach to filming and editing than other types of videos. In cooking editing videos, it is important to capture the cooking process from multiple angles so that viewers can clearly see the ingredients being used and the techniques being employed. This may involve using multiple cameras or filming different portions of the process separately to ensure that everything is captured clearly.

As I am comming up with ideas and planning for the video, I have been seeing videos which they explain and breakdown the process of the different techniques and panning on the video

. For the dish, I've been thinking on doing a Creme Brulee, which is a dessert of custard topped with caramelized sugar. This dish takes class and finess to do. Different technique and procedures are used to making this stunning dish.

. Five simple ingredients – cream, vanilla, salt, eggs and sugar – make for an exquisitely rich and elegant dessert. Most crème brûlée recipes require the use of a small propane torch to achieve the crackly sugar top, but this version offers a simpler (and safer) solution: your oven's broiler. I have done a Creme Brulee before, since I have french background and my grandmother loves to make Creme Brulee for me and my brothers. She taught me and my mother on how to do a perfect Creme Brulee.

I've been doing seeing online videos of cooking shows and videos on tiktok to be able to come up with the dish the main character will be making. I having been watching Gordon Ramsey cooking videos and not only come up with a dish, but to also learn techniques and tips on how to cook. I am still planning the storyboard of the video since I haven't really thought of how the plot the video and the people who are going to be in the video. I have been seeing editing videos on cooking videos because the concept in cooking videos is different. Different shots and composition are required to shot the cooking video. I have been watching tutorials and montages about the subject. Right now I am watching editing videos ( since I am really not familliar with editing videos) to be able to structure the video when it comes time to shot the video. I have spoken with my brother and he will be helping me do the research and the shotting for the video since I won't be able to do the video by myself.

For the portfolio project, I have been thinking in doing like a cooking video showing the hardships and obstacles the main character overcomes to make a stunning dish. 

I haven’t specifically have thought on the dish that the main character will be working on because I’m trying to show like the complexity of the dish. 

I have been doing research on how to edit and how to make a good video by seeing tricks and tips on shots and composition and editing to make a good video. 

I am currently not sure what the plot of the video will be, but I have an idea of the plot. During this week I’ll be researching and watching professional cooks and bakers to be able to proceed and decide the plot. 

Also with the help of my grandma and brother (who are good cooks) I’ll be able to accomplish and complete the storyboard of my video.
