Creativity

Creativity is a mental process involving the discovery of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the existing ideas or concepts, fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight.
Creativity is something that cant always be defined. some people believe it is the freedom to do what you feel will be good in the way you want to do it. It is the separation of yourselves from regular responses to tasks.

To what extent have digital technologies helped to increase more creative oppertunities?

Plan:

1. Introduction: background of projects and brief description of a few digital technologies.
2. 1st Paragraph: One digital technology and how that has increased your creativity. What is creativity? Explain digi technologies in more details
3. 2nd Paragraph: Another digital technology and how that has increased your creativity. relate to two or more projects
4. Conclusion/ Evaluation/ last paragraph/ summary: say whether or not you believe that digital technologies aids your creativity when producing media products in your experience. State how a digital technology could be improved to improve creativity.

Response by Sian and Laura

Some of the digital technologies we used are photoshop a photo editing software to create our company logo. Final cut to edit and improve our product and garage band to create a soundtrack. We used these in our production of our thriller to help create a more professional product.

One didgital technology that as helped to increase our creative oppourtunities is Final cut. It allowed us to edit our product adding different effects to get a more complex and interesting product. It allowed us to use a more advanced technology to give us a higher quality product and more like an actual opening sequence.

Another digital technology is blogger an online website we used to blog our ideas, planning stages and thoughts. It meant we could research different opening sequences adding them to the blogs to helps us get different ideas. We could plan what we needed to do for our opening sequence in detail so we knew what had to be done and this made it easier when we came to shooting our product.

In conclusion i think digital technologies do help increase creative opportunities as it helps give people more idea's that can often lead to other idea's and a more creative product overall. It also helps to give a more professional product by being able to edit and add different effects.
