Brendan’s Sizzle Reel Assignment
In this assignment, I learned that I can’t handle looking at disgusting feet’s. No joke!! Anyway I learned to start developing a kind of language for the show by writing a rough draft of the sizzle reel script. Focusing on how food brings us together and the show focuses on raising money for charity.
Brendan Williams Crafting A Sizzle Reel
Basic Questions –
Who is the host and what is the name of the show? The host would be a stand up comedian with a knowledge in food criticism. They understand the process of cooking and are able to talk in food language with the contestants. The name of the show is World Cuisine Cook Off.
What’s the tone; what makes it special? The tone of the show is that it’s a fast paced cooking competition show. It moves along quickly as each episode is a half-hour. What makes this special is that the show is thrilling and suspenseful as the viewers are on the edge of their seat rooting for the cooks to finish their dishes on time. We see the mistakes they make under pressie such as burning the food, not having certain ingredients, and we see how they try to overcome those obstacles.
Is this a reboot, an original series, or based off a book? This is an original series.
Why now? People love cooking shows and with Covid19, more people are learning to cook at home, so this show will inspire them to come up with fusion cuisine dishes on their own. Also, the show raises money for important charities that deal with everyday issues in this current time.
What’s the subject of the show or what kinds of stories does it tell? The subject of the show is “Cooking” and it focuses on various kinds of restaurants pairing up against each other to win money for charity and try to be creative under pressure.
How does it lend itself to a long-running series? Cooking competition shows can always run for many seasons because food related shows are extremely popular and also there’s never a shortage of cooks and restaurants that can be possible contestants.
In conclusion, why now and what’s it called? In today’s world, World Cuisine Cook Cook Off would be a perfect time to be on the air because it celebrates diversity and dives into cooking styles from other countries. With so much divide in the world, it’s always been food that brought us together with a common ground. This show celebrates diversity, immigrants, and how they present themselves to the world through their food and cooking.

Voice-Over: It’s time for the World Cuisine Cook Off. With cooking styles from Russia all the way to Southern Africa. A plate of food is what brings us together.

Subject: Michael Kemp Writes a Sizzle Alternate-TV Lesson 6
What I Learned Doing This Assignment is enjoying the creativity I can present in the formulation of a sizzle reel script.
Assignment #1
1. Who is the host or talent or name of the show?
· Three celebrity hosts; Randolph Mantooth, Leeza Gibbons, and Heidi Collins.
2. What’s the tone; what makes it special?
· Informative/educational. It is America’s Greatest Resource. The creation of earthquakes, hurricanes, tornado aftermaths, fires, and floods will be enacted.
3. Is this a reboot, an original series, or one based on some other IP, like a book?
· One-Hour Weekly Original Series.
· Guidelines for skills are based around the National CERT Curriculum.
4. Why now?
· Disasters are generally unpredictable and to be prepared is always timely.
· This series acquaints the audience to a new world inside the workings of individual CERT Teams, their function, training, and decision-making against the clock in life-saving measures.
· An exclusive, never-seen-before backstage pass to an elite resource that America maintains and counts on through natural and man-made hazards to protect life, property, and the environment.
5. What’s the subject of the show or what kinds of stories does it tell?
· Individual and community preparedness is fundamental to our national success.
· An informational pipeline surrounding a competition series of fifteen episodes per season, revealing interpersonal and team relationships, coping with tension and stress, and involving incidents that may impact laws and policies, but more importantly; saving lives.
6. How does it lend itself to a long-running series?
· Different scenario’s each episode. As we have seen in tragic incidents both at home or abroad, anyone can contribute to safeguarding the nation from harm if you know what to do and how to do it.
· Each community contributes to the safeguarding goal by individually preparing for the risks that are most relevant and urgent for them; hurricanes in the east, earthquakes in the west, tornadoes in the mid-west, flooding in the south, blizzards in the north.
· Individually by empowering the audience with knowledge and demonstrations in times of disaster by the main celebrity, host Randolph Mantooth.
7. In conclusion, why now and what’s it called?
· The series is named, “ERT-The National Championships” involving sixteen teams from around the country in four categories of four teams each; East, Central, South, and West competing against one another in six skill competitions until the only team remains to be declared “National Champion.”
· Natural hazards, including hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, wildfires, winter storms and flooding present a significant and varied risk across the country.
· Climate change has the potential to cause the consequences of weather-related hazards to become more severe including rising sea levels, increasingly powerful storms and heavier downpours are already contributing to an increased risk of flooding, wildfires are becoming more frequent, and severe in some areas of the country.
