Free Project: Scriptwriting

In this post I will be discussing the script I have written for the podcast I will be conducting.

Firstly, I wrote the introduction part of the script, which introduces the topic of anime and how it contains food scenes that not only function as aesthetic scenes. It also explains how it can affect story structure and how it adds to audience enjoyment.

To start off, I introduce its cultural representation for Japan through Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san as the main character in the mentioned anime presents her obsession with ramen which she also presents relatability for the audience in Japanese food culture

To showcase the diversity in Japanese cuisine, I explore Shokugeki no Soma, which depicts the regional cuisine to not only introduce viewers to new flavors and dishes but to also emphasise the unique characteristics of each region's culture and history.

Once again, the fourth paragraph talks about Shokugeki no Soma in how anime food scenes add to the development of the story and characters. It shows the main protagonist's development particularly in his culinary skills as he overcomes personal challenges, which led to his growth as a chef and as a person.

On the fifth paragraph, I also talked about how anime food scenes contributes to audience enjoyment by providing a sense of comfort and familiarity. The example I give is in the sixth paragraph which is Spirited Away. 

For the 6th paragraph, I discussed a scene in Spirited Away in which Chihiro eats a warm bowl of soup that creates a sense of relatability towards the audience about comfort. The following two paragraphs after this focus on the visual effect aspect of each anime food scene, specifically from Toriko and Spirited Away.

The second to the last paragraph still continues to talk about visual effects in anime food scenes. However, it focuses on Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san for the matter. Lastly, I wrote my conclusion about the topic, detailing the anime food scenes are significant in pushing the story, the characters, and the art itself.
