Introduction to Creativity


On this post, i will represent my ideas and other ideas of creativity, including definitions and a short clip on how i had decided to become creative.



Definitions of Creativity:


The ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination: the need for creativity in modern industry; creativity in the performing arts. dictionary.com


Creativity is the ability to generate innovative ideas and manifest them from thought into reality. Wikipedia


After researching definitions of the word creativity, i made my own in order to help my understanding.


My own definition of the word creativity is that of your own thinking different to that of others. Therefore some people may come up with ideas completely the opposite and abnormal to others.


The Pen - creativity film




In order to help our creativity, we were set out to make a minute clip featuring a pen where we had to be as creative as we wished. The rest of the planning and ideas were rest to us as students, where we had to decide a story line involving a pen, characters, camera movements etc. However one disadvantage to this task we had, was the short time period we were given to think and produce this clip. I personally believe that if i had more time, i could have come up with something more creative.



Below is a link referring to the clip i had made as part of this task.
