Final Major Project- shots

I have been thinking about ways in which I would like to shoot my cookery show. I have been watching many cookery shows including ones broadcast on TV and on YouTube also. I have come to the decision that many cookery shows have basic shots which they use including the following:

Up close shots of food.

This shot is a basic shot to show the audience either how something should be done or how something should look. It is very useful to give detail to the audience and help them in making a meal or a particular part of a dish. Also when food is being cooked, the camera is often positioned close up to give a nice shot of this.

This shot is used to show the audience what the finished dish should look like, with all the finishing touches. 

Medium shot of chef/presenter and kitchen.

This shot is used the most in cookery shows. It gives the audience a sense of the surroundings and also a view from further back of what is happening in the kitchen. 

Finished dinner shots.

These shots are done to show the audience people enjoying the finished meal. These shots can also be used in the run up to the meal being finished to give the audience more detail into what the food should look like.  These shots can also be used to fill in during the ending titles of a programme.
