Task 2b Research

Carry out research into primary sources (contacts and participants, interviews, locations)

For our documentary we will have a main host his name is Trey and he that will be introducing and explaining what is going on and he will also be trying out the food as well as Dianni, Tim and Victor. The locations that we have chosen will be Shoreditch and Walthamstow. Walthamstow will be the location that will be buying some of the food and Shoreditch is where we will be tasting the food, we decided to use Shoreditch because it is a nice area with different art. If for any reason we can't shoot in Shoreditch we have a backup plan to shoot a restaurant near London Bridge as we have contacts in the restaurant that will allow us to shoot if we asked.

 Research existing programmes and films that may include topics or techniques you enjoy: look at both news and a range of documentary formats and styles to inspire you (secondary research)

The secret of your food is a series on BBC that shows Michael Mosley and James Wong explore the sensations, tastes and flavours in our food from everyday food in the UK and abroad. This is similar to our 3 minute documentary as ours is about tasting different types of food from different types of backgrounds. Oklahoma State Fair has a food judging competition that lets people try out different food and then they get asked different types of questions about the food and what they thought could've been improved and what was the best. A technique that I liked was when the interviewer was questioning questions or the interviewee was describing the food there was cut always of the food and chefs making it.

The Chicken Connoisseur is a guy that goes around to different chicken shops and orders food and then reviews it. The style of the videos is similar to our documentary as it shows him ordering the food and eating it then after he does a review on each thing he ate then rates it out of 5. This is like our documentary accept we will be judging what country makes the better dish and we will also get the public reviews, this YouTube series is also a funny thing to watch and that is the type of documentary that we would like to produce.
