- What do you understand by ‘creativity’ and to what extent have you been creative?
I think creativity is something that comes from the creator’s imagination. People idea of creativity can vary depending on their interests. I think that throughout my projects I have tried to be as creative as I can. Sometimes I haven’t succeeded due to lack of imagination but I have tried my best
- How have you tried to facilitate and encourage your own creativity?
Many of my ideas for both the music video and my ancillary projects came from other examples of media that I have seen before. All of the ideas I used I was hugely influenced by because I was interested in them, so this encouraged me hugely.
- Did you experience limits/blocks on your own creativity?
I am pleased with my ideas my ancillary projects. Originally when I was creating them I had too many ideas and had to limit myself as to how many ideas I could use for my final pieces. I eventually narrowed it down to the idea of a model with a half painted skull on her face. This shows that I didn't really experience any blocks with my own creativity.
- How easy/difficult was it to be creative while still working to the brief?
Being creative yet still working to the design brief was a very easy task for me because it was quite a small brief and was very easy to create something to meet the brief.
- Did working within conventions stifle your creativity?
I found that working within conventions made it easier to use our creativity. As we were all very familiar with the indie genre we knew exactly what was typical of a bands video. Therefore, it essentially gave us a second brief about what type of video we needed to create, making it a lot easier.
- To what extent did you need to work with others and ‘bounce ideas’ off other people to be truly creative?
A lot of creative ideas were needed when we were coming up with shots that we would put in the music video. During the lessons where we were storyboarding, we all came up with ideas from other examples of media that we have come across before. We could then us each others ideas and expand on them with our own creativity maximising how inventive our shots would look.
- How much of your creativity was about trial and error?
When creating the video we spent quite a bit of time just testing out ideas that we hadn’t originally planned, and most of the time we liked the ideas so much we incorporated them into our video.
- To what extent was a lack of confidence an issue in terms of your creativity?
When it came to editing the music video, I had no confidence using the editing software at all. So for the majority of the editing time I watched over Harry use it and picked up skills that he was using for if I were to use it in the future.
- To what extent was a lack of technical competence/confidence an obstacle to your creativity?
Due to their being other people in my group with confidence in editing my lack of experience wasn’t a problem because someone else could do the task.
