Creativity

Creativity- "The use of imagination or original ideas to create something inventiveness"


Famous quotes on creativity 

"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things." -Steve Jobs

"I think it's fair to say that personal computers have become the most empowering tool we've ever created. They're tools of communication, they're tools of creativity, and they can be shaped by their user." -Bill Gates

Research and Planning

Types of research - Primary research (First hand information)
                                           - Secondary research (Second hand information)

Primary research

• http://youtu.be/QtbNKT7MMH4 -This video was made as a mock trial and was used to gather feed back from people over the internet so we could find out what we needed to include and improve on.
• Look at many different real life news paper articles based around heist and robberies that have happened, for example the Hatton Garden located in London was robbed in May 2015 which fit very well with our movie because not only was it recent but it was also the same type of store.
• As a group we watched many different heist scenes from different movies and took the key points and shots from them and tried to incorporate them into our movie. The movies varied from Action (oceans 11) to Comedy (Tower heist).
• We created a survey using a site called "Survey Monkey" and asked the question "What makes you want to go and see a heist movie?", this gives us a clear indication of what we need to include in our movie to make it appeal to a wider range of people.

Secondary research

• The orleans park blog was created by our teachers in order to help keep us up to date with everything that was needed to be added to our own blogs, this varied from homework tasks to everything we did in the previous lessons.
• All the notes that we took in lessons we then added on to our blogs for future reference 

Advantages and Disadvantages of these methods

• Expense/Cost (How much did the research cost? Books? Magazines?)
• Accessibility (Was the research easy to find? E.g those doing film had a tough time finding suitable copyright free music?)
• Time (Was it time consuming?)
• Reliability (Was the research measured to be consistent – did you find a trustworthy source?  Was it another student’s work?)
• Accuracy (Were the facts and figures correct? Did your audience feedback results provide a fair sample of overall opinions?Bias -Textual analysis can be bias as it is subjective (did you complete enough research to overcome this? Were any secondary sources biased? Think about documentary and mediation?)
• Validity (Has there a link between the particular research and final product? Was there a strong indication that this research effected the outcome of your work – e.g you shouldn’t have researched television programmes if you were doing a film piece...)
• Usefulness (How relevant was this to your project (see validity). OR did any of your research methods prove to be completely useless and why? Could you have used BOOLEAN searches on the internet for example?)
