In a sense my creativity has widened over my AS educational year but professionally has narrowed itself because of now knowing what is capable in my coursework and what will look more professional within my editing work. For example my skills using the editing equipment had improved a lot, knowing all the different edits and transitions however the majority of these elements did not suit or would not benefit my trailers in the coursework. My creativity has improved mainly from the use of research using the internet (major digital technology) during the pre production stage of the coursework. My creativity is still an experiment from which I am still learning. The editing equipment which has assisted by my creativity for example the computer itself, the keyboard and screen has allowed me to experiment and helped me apply the codes and conventions of the media to my work to display my genre and make it clear to how I want the audience to feel. For example during ‘The Break In’ I wanted the audience to feel tense and create a sense of mystery to what was coming next. Windows movie maker is the editing software I used which improved my creativity a lot, especially as I was given the job as ‘editor’. This involved a lot of experimenting with shots. I moved a lot of shots around and deleted inappropriate shots. That is a great advantage of these new media technologies, being given the technology to move things around easily and reduce time wasting. This helped my creativity a lot due to easy formatting. However my creativity was limited when creating the credits due to font sizes being limited to certain sizes.
The internet assisted me when looking into films and camera angles and general research. I accomplished this mainly on YouTube, this is where my group also published our products allowing us to be producers ourselves with an audience. On YouTube we were also allowed to submit our electronic evaluations explaining why our work turned out how it did. Web 2.0 had the most impact on my creativity as that is where most of my creativity took place. Email was an advantage as my group was able to send video clips and the trailer itself to each other in order to gain opinions on where it could be improved without the need to be in the same room as each other. Web 2.0 allowed me to display my work and allow me to edit my work to different people on the internet. Overall Web 2.0 is a great advantage
When using the camera on the filming date my creativity skills increased due to experimenting and trying out new ideas to give a bigger impact on the audience. From this I tried new camera angles such as hand held cameras and slower panning shots to increase the tension of the film this is shown at the beginning of my second AS project “The Break In”. Also my creativity in this specific project improved via the use of sound. Our first idea at the beginning of the clip was to use silence to create an awkward tension however we used a gradual build up of a drone noise which increased the tension even more and provided a nice peak for the action to kick in. I learned more creativity skills from my lecturer when creating this drone noise in the sound department experimenting with the noise levels.
