How have you tried to facilitate and encourage your own creativity?
As a group we all shared our ideas, and then from there we built on those ideas and put the best ones together.
Did you experience limits/blocks on your creativity?
When we had little motivation we found it hard to be creative. Also when we disagreed on each others ideas we found it to be creative as we felt as we were being restricted with how creative we could be as we had more limited ideas to use.
How easy/difficult was it to be creative while still working to the brief?
Although we had to work within the boundaries of creating an opening for a film, this was still fairly general and so we found it fairly easy to still be creative when working to the brief.
Did working within conventions stifle your creativity?
Working to a convention did stifle our creativity as we had to stick between certain guidelines and so we had to put more thought into our ideas.
To what extent did you need to work with others and 'bounce ideas' off other people to truly be creative?
Working with others made me more creative as working in a group meant we could take the best ideas and combine the together to be truly creative.
How much of your creativity was about trial and error?
A fair bit as we found ourselves starting with one idea and then finding it not working and then adapting that idea.
To what extent was a lack of confidence an issue in terms of your creativity?
I dont think this was an issue as i was working with people i knew well and so felt confident enough around them to share all my ideas with them.
To what extent was a lack of technical competence/confidence an obstacle to your creativity?
This stopped us from being creative in some ways, however i also think this made us more creative as we found ourselves to experiment with the camera's and editing software.
