Audit of AS Skills - Creativity

Pre-Production -

When I began the course I had minimal if any sense for creativity with regards to creative presentation formats. I was producing a blog for the first time and had no idea as to how to produce a blog and what should be on a blog and how to present my work. In order to improve my understanding of blogs I began to search through a variety of blogs, exploring blogs such as Food blogs, Performance Blogs, Personal Blogs and previous media students blog work. This inspired me and improved my understanding of what should be on a blog, alongside the help of my teacher encouraging me to begin to use online presentation formats such as 'Prezi' and 'Pintrest'.

Production -

During the filming and editing process of the AS course I was able to apply my own ideas into the open title sequence, applying my own vision and putting my ideas into practise, I found this the most engaging part to the course and was easy for me to apply my own creative ideas. I was able to put the imaginative ideas into practical outcomes and improving my knowledge of what is possible and what wasn't with what I could achieve. Overall I fond that less was more with my ideas, for instance I learnt to only give a small hint, a sense of enigma and building tension in an opening title sequence, to engage and excite the audience, rather than tell a story and feel as though I have to explain everything in one go.

Post-Production -

Returning back to blog work for the evaluative questions in response to the production section of the AS course I answered all my questions on multiple on-line presentation platforms, for example I used 'Exam Time', 'Sound-cloud' and created a 'YouTube' video, which in comparison to my initial blog posts clearly demonstrates my development in creativity for presentation purposes. Not only did this allow for a more creative and engaging piece of work to have been produced but I felt I could be precise and separate information accurately, making my response clearer and easier to understand.
