Project Two – Cupcake Construction

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuWtnF67x4Q

This is a simplified version of one of my previous sketches which was too heavily edited and needed it’s length cut down to a shorter version. In the episode we’ve chosen as the case study (“Food Porn”) one of the girls attempts to construct a cupcake with materials that aren’t usually in a cupcake, or edible for that matter. I decorated this cupcake with icing, pompoms, ribbons, glitter, and a styrofoam cone. This sketch derives humour from the fact that normal ingredients aren’t used in this video and therefore looks a lot more “decorated” however no normal person would be able to create this type of cupcake at home.

The music was from iMovie and is royalty free so there aren’t any copyright issues, and the overall filming of this sketch was a little difficult due to the fact that I had to decorate the cupcake whilst the camera was between me and the actual cupcake.

This scene is shot in the way where normal “food porn” pictures on instagram are posted with, such as a white background that is used so that the cupcake stands out and viewers are not distracted from anything with his background.

This shot itself I believe fits well into the concept that is provided in our case study, they girls use the same concepts such as a white background and having the scene be shot from the front. Overall I think that the music and the simplicity of this sketch fits well into our concepts.
