Video Idea: Transportation

From 19th century to present time, various technologies for transporting food were used to distribute food in and out of the city. For the video, we can include pictures of all the technologies we discussed in our papers so the audience may see actual representations of the modes of food transportation the modes of food transportation used throughout the this time period. The pictures can be placed in chronological order in a slideshow fashion so people can see the transformations from using one technology to another. We can also include tables to show the popularity of using a certain technology over another. Maps may be included to show the geography of where/ how far technologies traveled as more efficient modes of food transportation emerged.

This sounds pretty boring but other than using visuals, I can’t think of another idea to better present the types of technologies used to transport food… any suggestions??

    This is more so video “filler” than actual substance, but maybe see about filming little clips of food transport vehicles you see on the street? For example, the trucks which deliver food to large stores (i.e. CVS and Duane Reade) or fast-food restaurants (i.e. McDonalds, ice cream trucks, food carts, and other things of that nature…

      That would be a good representation for modern transportations! I’m just unsure about how we should portray the uses of technologies in the past…
