This genre is typically set on television, youtube, on a cooking website, or linked in various other websites.
The subject of cooking videos is obviously food. There are many subdivisions such as desserts, quick and easy, low calorie and health.
This genre is used by people who like to cook. Celebrity cooks make videos, but anyone can make a cooking video too.
The genre is used to teach people how to make food, and also to be entertaining. This genre is used when someone has an idea about a good recipe and wants to share it.
There is often little text included, except maybe portions listed and a title. The main content is visual and verbal.
Most often logos is used. This is simply by the chef talking and explaining things logically. Another may be ethos, because the speaker is trying to establish that they are a good chef and that you should try out their recipe.
The cooking videos are organized with an explanation first. What is the benefits of the recipe, is it healthy, etc. Then the process of cooking, and a wrap up at the end. The samples follow this process, along with just about all other cooking videos.
Since cooking videos are verbal, there is no set sentence style. Verbally, the style is typically well rehearsed and formal, meaning you don't say things like "um" or "so."
Word choice is usually descriptive. You are trying to convince your audience that what you're making is good, so you want to use adjectives.
The genre of cooking videos as a whole includes people who like to cook. This would typically exclude people under 18 or so. Cooking videos are usually watched by the person in a household who cooks. This genre excludes people who don't watch TV or use the internet.
The genre assumes that people value health and cooking.
The genre treats food as most valuable. This would mean that they don't value eating out or buying things pre-made.
Reflection:
I read Grace's Blog and Hunter's Blog. They are both doing text based assignments (a power point and a blog post). I definitely wanted to take this as an opportunity to move away from a written project, but more power to them as writers!
I definitely agree with everything that you said. I found it kind of hard to make this blog post because it seemed like everything was so straight forward and kind of like "duh" so I didn't have much to write about. I think that it's good that you have a straight forward genre to do a project on.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you have a good idea of what you will do with you genre and what is typically an element of a cooking video. I agree with Grace on how a lot of these questions were very self-explanatory.
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea of doing a cooking video! It's really creative and gives you a chance to actually show how to use sugar substitutes, while also giving you a chance to talk about the issue and make your argument. Having the visual of seeing you cook, and also having the narration is a cool multimedia aspect that will make your project really intriguing. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI think it was wise of you to move away from a text based argument. After writing two major pieces, it must be nice to do something outside of text. I also think this will be challenging. Trying to convince people of sugar alternatives while also explaining a recipe seems difficult but more power to you!
