Cookery show

As a group we have decided to do a ten minute cooking show aimed at students. The idea is that students send in their recipes and the chefs cooks a recipe each week. As its mainly aimed at student the target age range is between 18 to 25. I feel that if the programme was to go live I would have it after hollyoaks as many students watch it as it relates to them. 

We are all designing a logo and coming up with a name for our programme as we want to add graphics to the show, like the ingredients and how much it would cost. We are all coming up with simple recipes for our programme, I think a pasta dish will the best starting point. I was thinking we could do breakfast, lunch and dinner meals for a student in a rush. I will put this forward to my other team members and see if they like this idea. The reasoning behind this is because I feel that one meal isn't going to cover the whole ten minutes. I have noticed whilst watching other cookery programmes, that they show several clips of the food cooked and ready to eat. After taking this into consideration, I still feel we will have loads of time spare. So this is why I feel we add more meals to our programme.

As we need a kitchen to make this production look professional we will be using one of the food technology rooms inside university. The only problem we will have with using a different location is that we will have to move all the cameras and equipment to the cookery room, this will take a lot our time up. This is why we will have to be well organized before we set up. I think the main issues are the angles of the cameras and setting up the vision mixer in a separate room as we have to be careful and think of all risks that could occur during filming. 

I will be researching and looking at other cookery programmes throughout the coming weeks to see what I would like to include in our own production.
