I happen to be planning such a thing recently, and I am happy to share it.

To make a short video of ancient cuisine, all scripts are stories. Since it is a story, three elements must be designed, that is, people, plot and environment. Not much to say, I will directly release one of my planning schemes for reference only:

1. Characters

1. Character setting (case)

Virtual characters, gourmets who have traveled through history for thousands of years. He wore a white dress and a paper painting fan, and traveled for thousands of years; He tasted the "Cherry Biluo" prepared by the DPRK and the ROK in the Tang Dynasty, and also commented on the "Dongpo elbow" cooked by Su Shi in the Song Dynasty. He witnessed that "Four Joy Meetballs" was called "Braised Lion's Head" and that "Boiled Cabbage" was made into "Buddha's Finger Buddha Guanyin Lotus". Now that he has come to modern times, what will he experience? What foods to taste? What stories are told? What cultures are promoted?

2. Analysis of the advantages of people's design (case)

1) People's design image, Hanfu handsome man image, high eye-catching, good first impression, strong audience desire to watch;

2) Character identity, a gourmet spirit who shuttles through the long river of history, his mission is only to find the most delicious food in the world, which is mysterious and topical and conducive to Tik Tok's interaction;

3) The character is highly moldable. He does not have a fixed origin, but he comes from nothingness. He can come from the prosperous time of Han and Tang Dynasties or from the ancient flood. This identity is helpful for our later video update, and it is very convenient to explain the historical origin of food, which is highly creative.

4) China has a strong cultural background. For five thousand years, people lived on food, and there were corresponding cuisines in each dynasty and generation. However, up to now, the cuisines in each dynasty and generation may have changed their appearance, perhaps for the better or for the worse, but this is how history happened. We respect history, and at the same time we support tracing back to the source and telling the original appearance of it in history.

Second, the plot

1. Story background (case):

I am "* * *", and I have been busy with my mouth all my life. Other than that, it's ridiculous, but I don't think there is anything wrong with being a glutton. During the Ming Dynasty 611 years ago, a chef of a magistrate in Sichuan saw poor families eat chicken because Nowadays, "saliva chicken" is a well-known dish in Chongqing. It has been passed down for 611 years and carried forward for 611 years. It has been enjoyed at the dinner table for 611 years. What a pity!

2. Story content (case):

After "* * *" came to a restaurant

Attendant: Teacher, you are still a Hanfu enthusiast.

artist: Hanfu? Oh, yeah, yeah!

waiter: what do you think you want, teacher?

Artist: As the saying goes, when it comes to Chongqing, it's basically "You ask me to return home before the due date, and there are a string of alms chickens in hot pot". In this case, you can give me a "saliva chicken".

waiter: that teacher's "hot pot string of alms chicken" ...

Artist: Next time.

after the dish is served

Third, the environment

Because of the setting of my story, it may not be very elegant. If your story setting is not like this, you may need to consider the elements of the times.

With the above three elements, the script of a short video is basically completed, and because it is a short video and the event is limited, the event only needs to pay attention to: the beginning, the climax and the end. Other things should be as concise as possible, and some recent "stalks" can be added to the story, which can increase the topicality.

I'll stop here to answer this question. If you have any doubts or need to communicate, you can write to me in detail.
