In terms of this video experiment, I think it is a rare opportunity for us to practice these basic shooting techniques again, so that we can not only master the shooting skills but also have a clear framework for our future work.
- Cooking show——Smoothie Bowl
The editing method when I did this work used the narrative structure. Starting from preparing food materials, processing food and finally decorating food. The whole structure was orderly according to the timeline. The purpose of this practice is to let the audience have a better understanding of how to make this smoothie bowl, giving a clear menu. But some shots are missing, so there are some steps that are skip, but do not affect the final work.
2. Interview—— Food Culture
On the shooting day, we learned how to do an interview, including how to set the camera, what posture to hold the microphone, and our team also determined the interview process. So the whole shooting process was very smooth. When I was editing, I separated the parts of each person, and the whole video was divided into three parts, The first is what’s your name, the second is what is your favourite food in your hometown, and the last is the main interviewee to tell about Australia’s food culture. The purpose of using this shooting method is also to let the audience understand the main concept for our work.

For me, this job is to practice shooting techniques and enable us to master the shooting methods of long/medium/close shots, as well as the training of delay video shots, lighting control, scene selection, etc., and how to edit these irrelevant shots. I use a poetic mood because it connects the lens well, which also better show the meaning of the theme and give the audience a space to think
