Final Major Project- Setting and Presenter research

Jamie Oliver

Presenter Research
I have been doing some more research into cookery shows and the presenters involved in them. One chef and presenter who has caught my eye and is extremely well known in the cookery show industry is Jamie Oliver. He has caught my eye because of his easy going attitude, his laid back style and presentation. He also shows people how to make good food in a simple and easy way. He has an attitude towards food that makes people understand what it is that needs to be done and how it can be done in a easy way. He every much makes sure that he keeps the cooking process easy and as simple as possible. With a laid back attitude which keeps the audience who have perhaps not had as much experience in cooking at ease.
I think if I could find a presenter who has the same attitude and outlook to food as jamie oliver, along with the style and humour he brings to a television show, then I would be able to keep a audience of students and young people around that age attention, along with a general audience who enjoy watching cookery programmes.


Setting
Jamie's 30 Minute Meals has the exact setting that i would like to incorporate into my programmes. It is set in a large kitchen with all the basic appliances that you would need in order to follow his recipes, these basic appliances are the things that you can find in a typical student kitchen. I would like to have my setting in a kitchen, but obviously it would need to be big enough in order to fit a film crew and cast in. Along with aspects such as lighting and noise being key to the filming process.

I will now be looking at possible locations to film in, along with possible talent for my presenter role.
