My presentation will outline where my inspiration comes from and introduce the background of my idea then i’m gonna show you my shooting plan at the end.
So start from the idea inspiration: which extremely attracting me after i watched a BBC documentary called little paris kitchen, the character in the film Rachel Khoo uses her own way to teach the audience how to cook French cuisine in a quick and easy ways. Then i found why not doing a film about food? It is a good opportunity to introduce Chinese food, moreover i believe the food reflects the culture, so i start researching.
Here is a quick guide of Chinese food :The staple foods of Chinese cooking include rice, noodles, vegetables, sauces and seasonings. Due to china is a big nation, different parts has different Diet culture.for example the people who came from north of china would prefer noodle opposite the people from south of china may choose rice, this is because of the climb. In addition, Chinese cuisine includes styles originating from the diverse regions of China, there are 8 culinary traditions. There are Cantonese, Szechuan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui, Zhejiang Fujian and Hunan cuisines.The first four would be the main culinary cuisine, except Shandong, others are all south of China.
Now I am gonna show you one of my favorite movie Eat Drink Man Woman which directed by Ang lee in 1994 and related to my topic, it might guide a little bit more about Chinese food culture. I like sound record in this fragment.
In this film, Ang lee discussed his own point of view with the relationship between family members, and food as a tool of it. Also, There is a proverb saying:Food is the paramount necessity of the people in China. Ancient Chinese connected food with Philosophy of life. It lead to my curiosity. My final project film3 would be a journey of exploring. So I plan to do the thing as step of each week.
