The Power Of Realism In A Restaurant Video
Paradoxically, the Kon Tiki “Escape to Fantasy” Part 2 restaurant video, which is made as a fantasy drama, succeeds in a very effective realistic portrayal of the restaurant food. http://www.foodreference.com/frvideos/html/local-rest-004.html The video is the brief story of a couple that sits down to dine at a stylish restaurant, and has their meal interrupted by a band of Russian mafia coming looking for the man. The man and the girl are forced to flee, and a member of the mafia eats the steak.
The video is effective because in the process of presenting the drama, it portrays the restaurant and two main dishes in a totally realistic way, with no pretensions. Instead of background music, which accompanies most restaurant videos, we hear the sound of dinning room chatter. As opposed to many restaurant videos which present an array of cuisine offerings in a short amount of time, this video, presents only two dishes, the man’s prime steak and the woman’s Pacific sea catch. The woman’s dish is attractively accompanied by an ample helping of asparagus, and the man’s steak is garnished with a sprig of parsley. The man is drinking red wine and the woman white. The table is set with elegence, down to napkins that were folded and standing on edge, and attractive wine glasses. The complete
portrayal includes the well known anticipatory pleasure all diners have as they pull the chair back to sit down and begin the meal, and the preparation for the first bite of the thick juicy steak smothered in juices.
The realism of the video suddenly gives way to fantasy at the appearance of Russian mafia thugs, who have come in search of the man. The couple is warned by the maitre de to flee. They escape, and a mafia member with a claw hand grabs the steak and eats it.
In a causal way, this video succeeded in a completely realistic portrayal of really taste tempting dishes, where other videos are less successful. The realistic background chatter, the lack of obvious effort to display the food, the addition of humans enjoying the food portrayed in a totally realistic manor,by professional actors, allows the food to present itself in a powerful way.
The shot of the food was full and prolonged, and presented sitting upon an attractive restaurant table. The actor portraying the man knew how to portray a customer like ourselves, who is practically drooling over that thick juicy steak as it reaches the table. We see ourselves, reflected, in the couple eating. When his mouth waters, our mouth waters. We can identify with every move, the pulling the chair back to sit down, the unfolding of the napkin, the preparation for the first bite. The ability of the video to make us identify with the scene is what makes it so effective.
