Introduce the idea of "creativity":

Creativity is very important in the media industry. Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. It can be totally original and usually involves two stages thinking of the idea and then producing it.

Creativity is different in the media industry than the art industry. For example in the art industry if someone didn't understand the piece they was looking at they would still look at it and find it interesting but in the media industry if someone did not understand the film it would not be very good and audiences would drop.

In class we was looking at tasks to help us be creative and for one of the tasks we played the game consequences. We played consequences in a group of four. We each had to write down a adjective and noun in a special order to create a random sentence.

The sentence that we came up with was "The disgusting bucket drinking new rubber duck."

With this sentence we had to create a image to describe the sentence. This helps us be creative because we will have to think creative ideas in order to create the piece of art work for our consequences sentence and may give us experience in thinking creative when we come to make our film project.

This is the artwork I came up with:



For the second task we was given a camera and told we had to film a short video clip. The only other thing we was told was that our short video clip could be about anything but it had to include a pen in it somewhere. This we a very good way of being creative because we did not have much time to think of something so we had to use what ever came to our heads straight away and we had to put ideas together to make it work.

This is the short video clip that my group created it is called "Where's My Pen":
