Restaurant Reviews: *** A Video Review ***

 

As one of the activity of the class, I watched a video called Leaf Organics Raw Vegan Food Restaurant Review

And this time, I would like to describe how the video was.

What is focused on in the review? :

The explaining of the features of the food. He often praised the meal but he didn’t describe taste of the food so many. 

What features does it have in common with it? : 

Are chefs, owners, managers, or restaurant staff featured in the video? They never showed up in the video.

Do you think this was helpful in providing useful information about the restaurant or did it make the review too biased? : He seems to have enough information of the food so the opinion or general theory that he gave to me was very helpful. 

What criticisms do you have of the video, either concerning the professionalism, production quality or the content? : The information that John gave and the angle of view was also good. However, there was a  concern. This video was posted in 2012 so it might be inevitable that the quality of the video was low, however, John, who created the video could make better quality. Look at the scene of his appearance.

You can only see the sign of the store due to the backlighting. When I played this video, I couldn't help but poke my head in, "What's going on?" When I played this video, I couldn't help but ask myself, "What's going on?

Notice whether the voices of the speakers are monotonous or have a pleasing emphasis on certain (key) words and phrases. How does that affect your understanding and enjoyment of it? : When I listened to his explanation, I felt his passion for the food. Also, he is a raw food person, so all of his videos is related to raw food, thus he used the word “raw” very very often. 

At the 3:38 mark of the video:

In this video, he shared about 5 meals, and the most impressive one was the hamburger. To begin with, a hamburger is made of bread, vegetables, and hamburger. Since this restaurant specializes in raw and vegan food, I understand that the meat can be substituted with vegan meat. So what surprised me? It was that the bread was dehydrated bread. Normally, bread is baked, but the bread used here is dehydrated. I didn't know that such a thing existed in this world, so I really want to try it.　

At the 2:28 mark of the video: 

He zoomed in on the food and it was still blurry.

For those reasons, I think the video was not appropriate to tell about the restaurant. Even though the video was taken 2012, he could have made better quality one. But, although it was not restaurant review, I watched his latest video. The quality of the video seemed grown up and of course his knowledge of the food was very impressive. So the video which I was assigned was not good, though his latest one is useful to know about restaurants.

If you are interested in raw vegan food, his YouTube channnel is the best!
