Major project plan research:GHANIAN JOLLOF RICE

If you have been reading my blog, you will know by now that my major project is African food. if you're new here, welcome! and now you know.
For this post, I will be doing some more research before I actually film a cooking video.
I went to YouTube, a video sharing website, to watch different cooking videos related to the African dish I wanted to make which is Ghanaian Jollof rice.

BRIEF HISTORY OF JOLLOF RICE
Jollof rice originated from Senegambia(Senegal and Gambia) region in West Africa.T he names Jollof is gotten from the Wolof people in the Wolof empire that ruled part of Senegambia. In Senegal and Gambia, the dish is called Benachin or Ceebu Jen.
This delicious and colourful dish is cooked in many countries in West Africa including my country Nigerian and Ghana.

.After watching lots of videos on how to make Ghanaian Jollof rice. there was one particular video that I really liked.I will insert the link below. This video was posted by a YouTuber called sweet Adjeley


I really liked this video because she was able to effectively show us how to make Ghanaian jollof rice without difficulty. The video is clear and her voice is audible. what I love most about this video is the editing skills as she used voice-over and didn't even have to show her face for us to understand,she also sped up the video at some parts of the process so as not to waste the time of the viewer which I think is very important because we understood what was happening throughout.she also zoomed in on the cooking process so that it will be our only focus.

 For my major project, I will try to emulate this video in order for my audience to fully understand the process of the meal preparation and be able to replicate it in their kitchen. I will be doing a voice over for my video this is because i want my voice to be clear as I outline the step while the video displays it  and I will make sure to zoom in on the pot so that the audience main focus is the meal preparation and techniques.i will also be making use of speed so that that the video is short, precise and easy to understand. i will be using a professional camera so that i can produce a clear and detailed video.
i hope this goes well although it is challenging.

INDOMIE: INDONESIAN NOODLES (project sample)

Most times when I cook I always take pictures to show the process and the transformation process of foods. I like to know how dishes are made, the origin and what it is made of. I think this is very important because a lot of people are not aware of what their food contains. These pictures were taken weeks ago and I am posting them because I really like Indomie and for a long time, I taught they were introduced firstly in Nigeria but it is Indonesian born.                                                                                     I boiled the noodles in the sachets to make them edible and I boiled the egg. Indomie noodles come with sachet seasonings. when the Indomie was soft enough to my preference, I added the seasonings and red pepper then mixed it all up .then I poured the prepared Indomie to a plate and I put the boiled egg as well as an already boiled chicken which I previously had. now i devour the result of my hard work These pictures show the process o

COLLABORATION:Research

Welcome to my blog, For this post, I will be doing  research for my collaboration project. In my previous post, I talked about the social media idea that I and my teammates decided to work on. I decided to narrow down my research to two things that I am currently interested in which is my continuation route and music. Uber and Spotify My Continuation Route: Business management with Economics During my research, I was searching for businesses that are very different but were able to effectively collaborate to produce something unique and useful and that is how I found Spotify and Uber.   you’ll be able to travel in style by choosing the soundtrack for your Uber ride. When you request a new ride via the Uber app and get matched with a music-enabled vehicle, you’ll also be able to connect to Spotify and select between ready-made playlists, your own playlists or whatever else you’d like to hear. You’ll also be able to wirelessly control the music during the ride using eith
