PRACTICAL

FORMAT

cooking interview / fieldwork

• sound divorced from image

the host / the host

• the host - director cooking stew for speculative scenes

the guests / the parasites

• specualtive scenes - talk (of the host) from behind the camera

which camera lens?

• Is it a combination of camera approaches?
• Is it a simple handheld DV camera? This could help overlap with Paranormal movies (like Blair Witch) lending it a certain authenticity
• A wide lens for the indoor scenes and a more narrow lens for the outdoors? Or go even wider with the outdoors to reference surveillance.

RESEARCH IDEAS

• food related internet conspiracies

RECEE

• greenhouses south of rotterdam
