Video by: Elinor Brelis and Tyler Myrick Studio: Food For Thought Synopsis: This video is somewhat of a trailer for a documentary style film about eating insects in the future. We believe that they may become a main food choice within America. In the video we try to portray the attitudes of typical americans towards eating bugs and explain their reasoning. We also convey how insects are a healthy source of protein and other nutrients and how they are eaten in many other countries around the world. Inspiration/facts/research: The inspiration for this project came from an article I read while we were researching topics for the film. The article was about insects being eaten and how they are the food of the future and we found this topic interesting and also not very well known so we decided to make the film about it. What is the role of food: The film is examining insects as a potential food source. We are questioning food in the United States, what people will and wont eat, and why. Characters: There arent really any characters in the film. There are just people we interviewed. This is a list of those people: Ourselves, Gabe, Kyle, Ani, Eddie, Sean, and Gus Rangatorri. Where is the Setup: The film takes place at Nuvu in the green room, at Toscanninis in The kitchen, and also at the various locations of the clips we found. Story Structure: We begin with Gus talking about different insect delicacies around the world and then go into the Students saying weather they would eat a bug or not. Then Tyler says that he has eaten a bug and Gus explains his insect ice cream flavors and the concept behind them. Next we explain the nutritional value of insects. We end with students talking about weather they think bugs can be the food of the future. Shooting Style: For the interviews we tried to shoot from an angle so that the subject wasnt looking directly at the camera but instead at the interviewer. We used a tripod and shot from what I would say was about a 45 degree angle. The clips however were shot from many different angles and with varying methods. When we shot in Nuvu there was light coming from all sides but at Toscanninis we had to make sure to not shoot against the light. The Editing: When we edited and put the film together we began by getting all of the clips and interviews together in one place. Then Wrote out a play by play of the movie and proceeded to build the film based on that. The pace of the film is somewhat fast just because we knew we were making something along the lines of a 3-5 minute trailer, not full length movie. Most of the cuts between clips or interviews are just cuts and not fancy transitions, but we tried to put clips together that would flow smoothly and to relate clips to the things being said. Time: There isnt really any sense of time in this film because its not fiction and we were not following the progress of anything.
