Earl's Court is home to many members of the Filipino diaspora. One thing that struck me in this video was one of the short interviews that he filmed. A child said that he'd never tried Jollibee before, and his family explain that this is because "he hasn't been home." I would love to investigate how someone with Filipino family and heritage born in the UK experiences and interacts with food and culture from "home". ]]> 2022-01-27 12:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2015694342 Headline/Hook Ideas nhall005 https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2017694900 - Quote from an interview that sums up their experience of food/home

- "The UK's South-East Asia Diaspora has probably doubled in size since 2001" - ~400,000 SE Asians in UK, 1/3 in London area.
- 2001 census - 132,697 Filipinos in England (including migration and birth in the UK) - highest category of SE Asians by far
- 2012 Office of National Statistics 2012 - by nationality there are around 68,000 not including those born in UK
- "Regardless of birthplace, the Philippines Embassy in London estimate there are roughly 200,000 Filipinos in the UK. Pinpointing an accurate and reliable figure for the Southeast Asia Diaspora in the UK is unattainable but base on the data available there may be up to 400,000 SE Asians in the UK."
- Growth - "The Filipino population in the UK is considered the largest outside Asia and the US. Over the past thirty years, Filipinos in uK has increased by more than 800% from 18,000 in the 1980s by roughly 200,000 today. Since 2000 thousands of Filipino nurses have moved to the UK following the government's massive recruitment to attract them; English speaking Filipino nurses are generally considered very professional, well educated and have the same high standards of nursing care as British professional nurses."
- Location: "Around 36% of the SE Asia Diaspora is located in London. In Outer London, the Filipino community is the largest living mainly in Brent (4,055) and Hounslow (2,607) - in Inner London, the Filipino community is the largest living mainly in Newham (5,176) and Kensington and Chelsea (2,750).
- Employment - 2001 and 2011 census, most likely to be working in hospitality, health, beauty, food processing, real estate/renting and retail/trade. 70s and 80s -

These articles are nice however I'd like to take the reader on more of a journey and exploration of something specific in order to address these things...

This one talks about the rise of restaurants and how maybe Filipino food has been undermined, with a confused identity which might have been caused by Spanish, US and Japanese colonisation https://www.stylist.co.uk/life/recipes/filipino-food-trend-restaurants-uk-london-birmingham-liverpool-manchester/250612]]> 2022-02-04 11:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2029249181 Key Facts for Story nhall005 https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2029391063 - Filipino diasporic population is highest of SE Asian in UK, and has been rising since 2001-2011 census

I hope you are well. As part of one of my uni modules I'm creating a multimedia piece, for which I'd love to explore how/if members of the Filipino diaspora interact with, experience, and value Filipino food. ]]> 2022-02-04 14:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2029548934 Feedback - Words Week 3 nhall005 https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2043667913 After my initial interview with my mum, my new angle is going to focus on the people who are facilitating the consumption of Filipino food. From there I can talk with them about their own connection to home, their motivations for doing what they do, and their customer response to their businesses. My mum mentioned two people who I am going to contact for interviews and photography: a man who used to (unsure if he still does) drive from London to Taunton with a car boot full of Jollibee food for people who'd ordered it. This is around a 300 mile round trip! The second person is a woman who runs a Filipino grocery store in Taunton; my mum told me a lot of Filipino nurses live in this town, and work at the big hospital there. This woman also sometimes batch cooks a lot of food for private parties, or even in her own restaurant: for example, she recently hosted a Filipino breakfast event. Apparently a lot of nurses go to her events and order her food, as it is a treat to have someone else cook food from home for you. I would like to get in touch with these people, plus potentially someone from Mamasons Dirty Ice Cream and Panadera (sister companies) who bakes the bread and makes the ice cream/curates the menu. There is a street in Kentish Town that has 4 Filipino restaurants, so I could also situate some filming or photography or interviews there.

The theme would align with "the people connecting the Filipino diaspora to home through food," and will take on a case study and first person hybrid, potentially three case studies, illustrated with portraits and then the subject's food practice. I see a similarity with Humans of New York - a portrait, a small introductory subheading, leading into a first person case study.

The overall structure of the piece would look like:
- Heading
- Subheading
- Extended introduction with context about the Filipino diaspora numbers in the UK
- Photo of person 1
- Intro to person 1 (name, age, occupation, what they do)
- First person story of what they do and their story
- Repeat x2]]> 2022-02-12 12:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2043667913 Interview with Daisy Hall nhall005 https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2043674066 This was my first interview, I asked my mum about her experiences of moving to the UK and discovering the food culture here. I ended up cutting her out of the final piece as Thirdy's story was more specific and compelling, something unique, however my mum's experiences helped to shape my film, where she features as a character who helped me connect with my Filipino heritage through Filipino style spaghetti.]]> 2022-02-12 12:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2043674066 Questions to Ask Thirdy nhall005 https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2050714436 What I know so far: Thirdy is the person who drove Jollibee orders from London to Taunton (300 mile round trip). I don't know anything else. He is from the Philippines?

1) Tell me your name, age, occupation, where you're based?
2) How long have you been living in London?
3) Where are you from/where is your heritage?
4) Where do you consider to be your home?
5) How do you feel about being away from the Philippines?
6) Is there something that you miss about the Philippines?
7) How have you been able to connect to the Philippines whilst being in London?
8) How did you feel when Jollibee first opened in London?
9) Tell me about your business driving Jollibee from London to Taunton. How and why did you start? When did you start? Are you still doing it? How often do you do it? How many people order from you? What kind of things do they ask for? How do your customers react? Who are your customers and how did you get them?
10) Why do you think your service has been so popular?
11) Has your demand for deliveries decreased now that Jollibee is open in Cardiff?
12) What's your favourite Filipino food?]]> 2022-02-16 12:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2050714436 Tutorial with Laura 25/02 nhall005 https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2066710246 We discussed more creative photography ideas that would allow my photos to stand alone. My idea before the tutorial was to photograph portraits of Thirdy (contributor who drove Jollibee all around the UK) but without the context of the written word, they would look like a collection of portraits of a guy eating Jollibee. Laura suggested I look at other photographers' work and that I could do something like take Jolllibee food to the countryside in Somerset or even a train station elsewhere and photograph it against the English countryside background. This could also comment on diaspora and how widespread it is across the UK. I could also create some sort of map to illuminate where Thirdy went and the distances he drove, then use data to show what were the most popular items in each region. It would also be good if I could connect the story as a journey, either all way from the Jollibee to the driver who delivers it, to the person who distributes it locally and then to a family that eats it?

1) buying the food
2) delivering the food - mapping where and what journeys were made
3) then transition to the food shop in Taunton???

If I can't get Thirdy for a photoshoot, alternative photos can be: the shop, people buying food and waiting for it, the restaurant among British shops, a chopped up image of Leicester Square and Jollibee being a big part of it to show it's in London (or could use Masking on Lightroom, go to Leicester Square at night and edit it in a way that will show Jollibee at nighttime as the highlighted building among the other restaurants). Like the photo above.

Maybe a manipulation of the food chopped up in loads of different settings, toy cars driving along spaghetti roads, I could just buy a lot of Jollibee, or photograph a big Jollibee order

After a tutorial about my written piece, we decided to cut my mum from the piece as she was not a customer of Thirdy's, and so her perspective didn't add anything to the story. I also did not have access to her after this shoot, as she went over to the Philippines.

NicInQuarantine/Nicole Machado - I like this one as it doesn't show any faces necessarily but as the film builds up, we see shoes walking, hands, the back of someone. The essay that is narrated is about hope and solidarity during lockdown and one shot and narration pairing that worked well was when Nicole said "is anyone else feeling freer than ever?" and shows a shot of sheep in a field, who have a lot of space to roam around in. It shows that the shot does not need to directly illustrate what the narration is saying, but can connote it in a more abstract way.

Carlos Melim - I do like the visual style as many of the shots feel very macro/intimate and this may connote that life inside during lockdown is very intimate with a lot of time spent just from his own perspective.

Gloria Kurnik - I really like the use of shadows in this one. I also like that she uses text on screen rather than audible narration, which gives us time to focus on the other audio elements of the video (baby crying, sound of the street)

We also hear, when the image changes, a Photo Booth shutter noise.

The piece feels quick but we get a sense of the contributor's journey and story in only 1 minute.

Being asked questions that are quite othering, and had their white skin is commented on and highlighted. The film also shows them cooking and talking about how they started to feel more Vietnamese after moving to New York and realising how connected to his culture he is being away from home.

For example: photos of my mum cooking whilst we hear a soundscape of chopping, the onions hissing, her speaking, opening packaging.

The linked film (Hello Fish Mate) uses photographs with moving effects, narration, text and importantly, the sound of waves to tell the story of a man who uses fishing as a way to relax and escape from the rest of the world.

It lasted around 35 minutes and Thirdy was a great character, very animated and theatrical especially when talking about emotional topics such as how happy people were, his disbelief of how popular his service was, and also the depression that his community felt.

He responded well to my questions and kept going on and on without my prompting. I used some open questions such as "can you tell me about the Jollibee story?" and he went on from there]]> 2022-06-01 11:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2207364401 nhall005 https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2207547700 WORDS
- more space between the first paragraph and the first photos
- increase the line spacing in the first paragraph to 1.5 to allow more space
- rewrite the first paragraph
- I say he is from Masbate Island but I need to clarify that we are both on a video call in London
- put a hyperlink to Thirdy's photography work
- put the pull quotes in-text
- maybe put the pull-quotes to the left, to be glanced at
- Change 1st pull quote make it shorter

PHOTOGRAPHY
- I could crop the London Eye out of the two photos???
- Make the featured image more warm rather than dark/cool toned
- Sequencing of the photos makes sense

FILM
- The music may come across as just British or Western with British/colonial overtones
- However music is good and simple as it is one instrument, it doesn't interfere with my voice - the Westernness also relates to the film in that I do have a dual heritage and I am questioning if I could use Filipino music; we are also in London, so Filipino music may feel out of place for me
- I don't have to cut to the beat, I can make all the zooming in of the photos slower, linger on some of the best photos
- ending is fast so extend the outro a little bit, it's fading while I am speaking
- I should try to stabilise the shots on the handhelds!
- The narrative is clear

When I visit the Philippines everyone is so keen to show me food and it feels like an assumption that I should know some of the food that there is because I am part of the family and part of the culture. What does being half or partially Filipino mean to me?

Every time I see a Filipino food outlet I get so excited and I feels so special. It reminds me of childhood and sharing and love and family. This will inspire the words I will say in my film.

The shoot went very well and I was happy with the outcome of the shots. Instead of going to Telegraph Hill, I went to the National Gallery as it was on the way to the beach, and it is more of an iconic/interesting landmark.

During the shoot I experimented with the camera settings a lot as it was sunny and cloudy, the light kept changing and so some photos were very over exposed.

There was no outdoor seating this day at Jollibee, so instead we sat inside to get some shots, however they were not as nicely lit or visually interesting as the outdoor seating could have been. I have decided to use a close-up image of the food (taken in Jollibee) as the featured image of the site as it shows the food in detail.]]> 2022-06-03 09:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nhall005/ianam6ohhlajld0j/wish/2210007800
