The Creative Process
To practise being creative, we used the '6 minute challenge' to come up with an idea for a film in a short amount of time.
We were able to use random location sand props as a stimulus to provoke ideas. For instance, our group randomly picked:a department store in a shopping mall and a letter for the prop.
We successfully used this to come up with a horror-thriller story. Furthermore, using the wikipedia random article generator we came up with the name "If I Had Eyes" which is very fitting to our letter prop and the thriller theme.
After successfully coming up with an overview for a plot, it was slightly more difficult to create the shot list and story board in a short space of time as it required a bit more thought and detail.
Our idea was successful as we were able to adapt our randomised choices and bring them together to fit our chosen genre.
This creative process will be useful in terms of helping us to make decisions when we cant quite decide between us as a group. However if the choices are too random and don't quite fit with the theme, plot or outcome that we are aiming for, some ideas may have to be adapted slightly.
