Learning Purpose:

The primary learning purpose of this video is to teach viewers the culinary skill of frying an egg, including techniques like oil temperature control, egg cracking skills.

Why Video is a Good Medium:

Video is an effective medium for teaching cooking because it provides a visual step-by-step guide that learners can follow at their own pace. It can demonstrate subtle techniques that are hard to convey through text or still images, such as the exact moment to flip an egg without breaking the yolk.

Incorporated Principles:

Mayer’s Multimedia Principle: By combining visuals of the cooking process with verbal instructions, the video caters to both visual and auditory learners, enhancing comprehension and retention.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL): The video provide multiple means of engagement by encouraging viewers to cook along, representation by showing both the process and the final product.
Cognitive Load Theory: The video designed to minimize extraneous cognitive load by segmenting the process into manageable steps, thereby not overwhelming the viewer with too much information at once.

Challenges in Capturing Video:

Capturing the right angles to clearly show the cooking process without obstructions can be challenging.

What Was Easiest:

The easiest part might be the actual cooking since it’s a skill I’m familiar with and comfortable demonstrating.

Approach to Capturing Video Differently Next Time:

Next time, I plan to shot more carefully, or experimenting with different lighting setups and camera angles to better capture the details of the cooking process. Also, I would improve my speaking fluency by practice more.
