What could you discuss in an essay on creativity?

Creativity
- What was the intended outcome of your productions? (preferred readings, promotional purposes etc)
- How were these outcomes achieved in terms of camera shot choices/diegetic or non-diegetic music etc.?
- How did you present your ideas on the blog?
- Work on shotlists, layouts, drafting, scripting or storyboarding
- How did you make creative decisions about your set design, props, location etc
- What stylistic choices were made in order to appeal to your target audience?

You MUST mention AS and A2 production. Therefore, throughout your essay you’re writing about what did you do at AS and how you’ve developed into a more proficient Media student at A2

Class Discussion Ideas
- Better framing&composition – give examples
- Lighting – filmed in dark in AS. Now know to film outside for best quality – therefore, filmed by open window midday
- Filmed on flip in A2 – made montage - skills improved because added music – so edited on beat, practising skills
- AS – used torch – A2 used natural light
- Considered colours, contrasts, costumes to fit w genre
- More confident w flips therefore > experimental when filming on location
- Grown in confidence w software – imovie
- AS filmed at night w torch/phones, A2 used car to create dolly shot – full beam headlights, to create shadows: 306 degree pan to film long shot
- Using saturated colour in imovie – therefore, end product less grainy
- AS – didn’t’ consider mise-en-scene, sacrificed lighting for framing
- AS used lots of slow paced editing – this year using faster shutter speed
