Originally I wish to make a video about take-out delivery men in the virus crisis, yet when I really get to make this video, I changed my mind. I wish to present how my hometown is coping with this crisis, and I asked myself, what is the most famous thing in Chongqing, the answer is obvious, Hot Pot.
So I made a short documentary about hotpot, to be more specific, about people first get to dine in a reopened Hot Pot restaurant just under my apartment.
This is the floor plan about my one and only scene in this documentary, a normal yet special dine party taking place in “Yuanzili” Hot Pot.
(I am currently having tiny trouble accessing the course channel so I uploaded it to my channel just in case.)

I really love Chongqing. It is really appropriate to use hot pot as the representative of Chongqing. By comparing the business conditions of hot pot shop during and after the pandemic, the video vividly demonstrates that Chongqing has returned to life.
One suggestion. It may be helpful to add subtitle, making ti easier for viewers to understand what the video is trying to convey.
I really enjoyed the video. Thanks.
The topic of understanding Chonqing through the local food culture of hot pot is intriguing and has the potential to unravel multiple issues and narratives. However, the storyline of your documentary video is not overtly clear. At the moment it feels more like an advertisement piece more than a documentary; A branding piece for the city, especially with the montage technique of including promotional tourism clips. What is your documentary exploring specifically? What are the significance and central message of your documentary piece?
As a documentary piece, it is not clear how much of this is original footage and how much is found. If you are using archival materials, citing these sources is mandatory. At the moment, acknowledgment is inadequate. Furthermore, more effort could be put into researching creditable and wider sources.
What is informing your position? Are there articles and publications that discuss the Chongqing food / hot-pot culture? What particular insight about the hot-pot culture do you want audiences to understand?
Did you mean for this piece to be ironic? Is there particular commentary built into this documentary? Or are you merely celebrating something on behalf of the tourism agency?
