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 .t...

Writing 4: The voice

For this post, I will be giving an update on my writing class activity . I will be showing a sample of my first draft as well as establishing the point of view of my project. Direction When we were giving this task,the first thing i did was to look for a template for my business plan. This is because using a template which would be like a  form of guide for my writing and i found one on  Score   , a website that assist young and growing entrepreneurs .In my previous post ,I posted a table where i analysed my fruit company structure . So i reused that same structure for my fruit but i made a few necessary changes. I know my project idea is to create a snack business and that is what the template should explain but being that it was my first draft i decided to leave it that way to show it was an initial plan.

Reflection|Goodbye

Looking back at the work I did this term, I think that I have improved in my writing skills.I noticed that I have a problem with my punctuation which was something I never really paid attention to until this project. I also gained more understanding about my self in terms of the type of student i am.From this project, i  know that in my continuation route I would prefer to write exams than essays if i am given the choice.This is obvious due to my constant failures to update my blog regularly.Coming from a background where all the assignments given are short-term ,it was quite difficult for me adapt to the continuous updating of the blogs.This goes for my essays as well,in the first two terms the reason why i never finished my essays on time was because i was so used to writing essays during exams or over the weekend. so it was different for me. I think if there i had to chance to re-do some aspect of this project,i will carry out primary research on asking Leicester Market Trad...
