Developed Idea

After lots of research we have decided on our final idea that we are going to use for our experimental film project. We are going to be filming in a kitchen as our piece is going to be about the cooking/ preparation of food. However, this may be a boring subject so we have decided to make the piece more abstract by showing the preparation and cooking of a meal backwards. This means that at the start of the film the meal would be cooked and at the end, the ingredients would all be separate again.

We originally got this idea of filming in a kitchen as we thought that you can find some very interesting sounds when preparing/cooking food. We thought if we could record these ordinary, everyday sounds and manipulate them into something extraordinary then they would be more interesting to listen to. We also had the idea of making the piece slightly musical by layering the sounds recorded from the kitchen on top of each other as this could make quite an interesting piece.

We have decided that the sounds we are going to record include:

     - Chicken crisping in oven,

     - Boiling water,

     - Pouring water,

     - Chopping/dicing,

     - Peeling,

     - Pots clattering,

     - Whisking,

     - Frying,

     - Knives being sharpened,

     - Cutting meat,

     - Blending.

These are the initial sounds we are planning on using but we may add to this list if any more spring to mind.
