Creativity

In the lesson on creativity we discussed what we thought creativity actually meant. We thought about it a lot and wrote our own definitions for it. My definition was...

Creativity - creativity is the process of which you take to get a final product which is influenced by your upbringing and your surroundings. It is not something that has to be unique or different because nothing can actually be completely unique.

Why Media Studies?

- I chose to do Media Studies because I am thinking about jobs in this industry. I am very interested in the technology and I love working with camera's. It's a subject that I think I could do quite well in as im not very good at the accademic subjects. I feel that I am quite a creative person so I think this is the subject for me because I think I could come up with some quite interesting concepts. I also take Media Studies because I do Photography and I think the two go quite well together. I would love a job in this industry hence why I took Media Studies.

What is Media Studies?

- Media Studies is all about the different types of media in the world and how up to date we are in the technology side of things. I think that it's mostly about filming things and what the outcome is in films but social networking sites and the different types of technology also play a big part in the media world. Some people would also say that magazines and newspapers are a big part in the media world although I don't think it fits in with it quite so well because it's not about technology it's just about what's going on in the world right now.
