Food Movie Script

Chef Sizzle: Hello and welcome to Sizzling Stars! My name is Chef Sizzle. Today our celebrity guest is the reality TV star Coco Candy. She debuted this year on Sweet and Saucy.

Coco Candy: Heeey guise! (blow kiss with peace sign) I’m sweet and spicy and ready to cook!

flips to scene of Olive

Chef Sizzle: Here is our Expert Eater, Olive. She’s got smarticle particles.

Olive: Salutations. Today this episode will focus on healthy eating and how our food choices impact the environment. This week we will be cooking a healthy three course meal using locally bought products. Before we can start cooking, we have go to the farmer’s market.

Coco Candy: farmers? ew. dirty Why do we have to get locally grown food anyway?

Olive: Well, locally grown food contains much less unnatural preservatives, and since they do not need to be transported great distances, they do not waste fuel, doing minimal damage to the environment. Also, buying from local farmers strengthens the local economy and supports local farms.

Chef Sizzle: Lets take a journey to the farmers market, where we can buy locally grown and sold products

2 Hours Later

Olive: Well that was fun! Farmers markets supply local, organic food for low prices! Wait... where is Coco?

Coco: (Walks in) Oh... I had a detour at the local Gucci! The farmers were scaring me.

Chef: Anyways, now that we’re all together, let’s get cookin’!  Today we will be making a Salad, Pasta, and Crepes for dessert. Let’s start with the Salad.

Coco: Yummy!

Chef: The ingredients we will be needing for this dish are tomato, lettuce, cucumber, and pepper. The dressing is composed of Olive oil and balsamic vinegar. This dish is very healthy since it contains lots of vegetables, along with other whole foods.

Olive: Olive oil is a healthy fat which can help lower blood pressure. It also has lots of vitamin E and antioxidants.  The lettuce, pepper, tomatoes, cucumbers  are locally grown ingredients that are not shipped overseas. This decreases their carbon footprint. So, not only are we supporting local businesses , we’re also helping the Earth.

Chef: This delightful salad will be eaten with whole grain pasta and pesto. The pesto was made from local Serbian brand, using only basil, olive oil, and pine nuts. Garnish with Parmesan cheese.

Olive: There are no preservatives, additives, or food coloring in the pesto or pasta. The whole grain pasta is made with all of the wheat sheaf. Whole grains contain healthy oils, minerals, and protein. The pesto is an exceptional source of vitamin A and is good for your skin.

Coco: Now, I don’t need to get botox.

*cooking*

Chef: Now that I’ve finished the pasta, we are going to cook some low fat crepes with dark chocolate.

Coco: French cooking! Yay!

Chef: The ingredients we need for this recipe are whole wheat flour, egg whites, skim milk, salt, and vegetable oil. For the fillings, we will use melted dark chocolate.

Coco: But chocolate makes me fat... WAAA

Chef: Don’t worry anything in moderation is fine and will not make you fat.

Olive: As a matter of fact, dark chocolate is quite healthy for your skin as it contains antioxidants and also contains good amounts of Manganese, with low amounts of Cholesterol and Sodium. Also, we will only use egg whites because  they are high in Protein, Riboflavin and Selenium. And low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol

Coco: Yipeee! This meal is going to be totally delish! Better update my Twitter

*cooking*

Chef: We just made a three course meal using healthy, local ingredients that are good for our environment and our body.  

Coco: Hurray! Now lets go to McDonalds
.
Chef and Olive: NO!

The Story of Food: Design

Subject: Food choices in our society and how it affects our environment
Grade: MS/HS viewers
Description of Lesson: The objective of this lesson is to educate our society on how to make healthy choices.  

Design Specification:
-Video
-Cooking Show
-MS/HS viewers
-5-10 minutes
-interesting and funny
- promote healthy eating
- edited in Sony Vegas Studio
- original and in our own words
- must be educational and informative

Emma’s Design:
The video will be a cooking show starring chef Emma and the celebrity star Rea Saxena. Annie Meyer will be the camera person.. The side dish will be a lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and pepper salad. The TV show is called “Om Nom Nom”.  We will be instructing ISB how to cook a healthy meal using only whole foods. The main course will be spaghetti with homemade tomato sauce or pesto. The side course will be a tomato cucumber, and pepper salad.  The desert will be strawberries.
Chef Emma will demonstrate how to cook and prepare the ingredients. She will talk about purchasing local food and make food jokes. The chef will wear a mustache and a chef hat, as well as an apron. Annie will be the Expert Eater who analyses the food and talks about the calories, health benefits, and environmental damage.  Rea will be in a blond wig and lots of gold jewelry and obnoxious make up. Rea is the celebrity who does not know how to cook but wants to eat healthy. Rea is a blond Bollywood star.

Annie’s Design:
This video will show how to prepare healthy foods, and what to eat. We can insert lots of interesting food trivia and jokes, kind of like Good Eats with Alton Brown. We can cook a three course meal (appetizer, main course, dessert) with all whole foods. For the first course we could make a nice salad (maybe caprese?) and for the main course we could make some sort of pasta dish. We could finish it up with light crepes for dessert) All three of us could be the “hosts” and “specialize” in different areas (like produce, meat, oven, etc.). With each food and whole food we explain why it is (un)healthy and give details and facts about it) and we could go to grocery stores and film some footage in there. Basically, all three of us would be playing very off-kilter chefs that know bizarre, unusual trivia and jokes. It could also include talking food or animals (puppets?) that share fun facts and add a quirky element to the movie.Overall, this movie will show how to make foods and contain lots of fun facts to educate the audience.

Rea’s Design:
Will include a cooking show with a meal that is prepared by chefs Annie, Emma, and Rea. It shall be portraying how to cook and prepare a healthy meal with whole foods. For an appetizer we could prepare a healthy soup with vegetables. We will be making a side dish or a salad with lettuce, feta, tomatoes, corn, cucumber, lemon, pepper, and salt . We will have a main course of pasta and maybe a meat product to go along with the main dish. As for the dessert we could prepare cookies or cupcakes/brownies (other baked goods that are healthy). Along with the cooking show we could add the element of a competition, much like Iron Chef America or like Bobby Flay. Along with the cooking show we could show some fun facts by making them pop up on the screen (possibly with puppets or we could add them while editing). We could have judges at the end of the show where they rate our food, we could have a winner at the end.

Group Selected Design:
Appetizer: Salad with lettuce, tomato, pepper, cucumber, onions, carrots
Main course: Pasta with pesto
Dessert: Crepes with Dark chocolate
Normal cooking show, with lots of off-kilter facts and characters
promotes healthy, local foods. 

Characters: 
Celebrity movie star paired with famous French chef Emma.
Emma: Chef extraordinaire
Rea: Blond movie star
Annie: Professional Eater (fast as nails facts)

Reason for Choosing this Design:

We made a compromise between Emma's and Annie's designs because they were simple, entertaining, and effective. We used Annie's idea for making crepes with chocolate because everyone likes sweets and these are healthier alternatives to the typical high fat dessert. We used my ideas about the characters because they are entertaining and unique. The salad was a combination of all of our ideas. Annie wanted a Caprese salad but mozzarella has a lot of fat. Rea wanted a Greek salad but that too had cheese.
