WK2: This is a MCBS blog is a portfolio submission: Its Your Chance to Be a Chef

I am seeking a number two star rating. 

The Food Network has not introduced local cooking sessions as a way to give back to the community. Their fans and cuisine lovers have not had the opportunity to get hands-on with chefs for their local communities. This will be the kick off event. The event will be launched at a local kitchen in a major city in the United States.
This is the best solution because it provides a real life atmosphere and tone to the need for quality local interactive cooking lessons. The event offers a hands on approach and provides great publicity for the network. The event will launch out of a real functioning kitchen.

The link for the project plan is:

I was advised to consider how my project can directly improve the branding of the organization, Food Network. I was also advised to use crowd funding sites to improve funding and publicity of the events. As a result, I chose to include Kickstarter as my chosen crowd funding site. 


This project will require to two high resolution video cameras and 3 high resolution cameras to video take pictures and videotape the events. Preceding the event, it will be promoted on social networks and a crowdfunding online organization called Kickstarter. I would promote my project by making a video pitch to gain donations, funding, and publicity for my project. In the social media realm, blasts and additional information can be sent on twitter, status updates on Facebook and Instagram, and video clips Instagram and YouTube. This will help to broaden the target market. Internet access is required for all devices. 5 Computer or laptop equip with Microsoft Office and Adobe. Additionally, a project team leader, a sponsor,  and content strategist must be employed to complete the team members roster.

Up and Running with Premiere Pro CS6


The most important and useful technique I used was the image stabilization. In my times of amateur filming, I frequently found it difficult to keep the steady hand when filming scenes in motion. After taking the course, I learned that image stabilization could be implemented with a few simple strokes of the mouse. This is very relevant to my professional objectives because many of my of the videos that I will capture will be in motion. As an editor, I must know how to stabilize specific scenes. This is imperative when perfecting a product that could be used to represent my company or organization.
