Food on Film – Week 10
Reflection on the process of final project
Tong and I filmed the interview with Tah, the interview takes 8 mins in our camera. From what Tah said to us, we shot some environmental footages of the restaurant Shinmai Tasty and some observational footages on their food. I think the light and the voice record of the footages are the strengths of our project. The location we filmed her in Shinmai Tasty has good sunlight. The voice over is 6 minutes(without me asking questions), we won’t use all the content she said, so we need to do some editing on it. However, after Tong and I organized the content she said in the interview, we think the content of her personal experiences may be a little bit weak. In week 9, we asked Kim to give us some feedback on our project. Kim also thinks that we should interview her again. She suggests us to do an audio interview with her. We believe it is a good idea, and we also need to more observational footages Maribyrnong. We can do B-roll on our project when she is talking. In the website MKW Creatives, Williamson noted that B- roll “refers to accompanying footage intercut with the main shot in an interview or documentary.” I think it can make our project ‘stereoscopic’ than now.
We plan to do an audio interview with our main character Tah this week again. We expect our audiences can go through her journey of a Thai who managers a Japanese restaurant to understand what food means to us. On the other hand, we need to do more film of the area Maribyrnong as well. Because for now, although we did enough footages of inside the restaurant, I think film some outside footage can help our audiences understand the location better. The project we are working compares to what we want to make, we still have some to do. First of all, we need to find relevant background sound music(Thai music and Osaka music). Then, next week in class, we are going to work on the edit on our rough cut.
Moreover, we want our audiences to know why we want to make this film and why it is essential for us. Because the theme ‘authentic food ‘ is our daily life topic. And the food we are eating every day is a medium to build people’s relationship.
