My Definition: Being as different as you can and thinking outside the box.
Official Definition: Involving the use of the imagination or original ideas to create something.
The similarities are that they both show use of imagination and actually thinking about something, but the difference is that they are worded differently and they could mean different thing as there are alot of creative aspects. I believe my definition is better becuase I understand it better and know what I mean by it.
Creativity and Originality -
I agree with the quote from Herman but also disagree, imitation can be creative as you could use the thing you have imitated as inspiration, or change and edit these things to make it original and your own. I believe a media text that is imitated but still creative could be Lady Gaga. She is unique and different, always surprising her audience, she used David Bowie and other similar artists as inspiration and copied them but was still very creative with what she does. This is still creative even though it is imitated.
Colourbleed -
I think the film is creative becuase some of the camera angles used, especially how the camera follows the woman when she starts to bleed and at the end where the blue droplet falls. The shots had a variety, some that are not always used also, we normally see Long, Medium, but in this we saw a large variation of camera angles. There seemed to be hardly any sound, only when the setting was the street, the speech and the eery tense music in the background. This added to how the film was unique, The main character came along as a creative young woman who lived her own lifestyle and didn't care what anyone thought, she was interested and inspired by the colourful bird, whilst the woman came across as very dull, evil and quite mysterious, The story to me, made no sense, I didn't really understand what was happening until the very end, but the questioning and curiosity added to the creativity and weirdness of the short film. The colours were very dull, I noticed how the city was dull and there was no colour, apart from the bird, the woman expressing herself and her artwork at the very start. The only time colour started to show was when the woman started to bleed, and she spread it around. Then especially at the end with the bird on the wall. The lighting was mostly more dark than bright, becuase I think the film was meant to be dull and boring, apart from the main character, The setting was in a boring town, where everyone seemed to be rather miserable, the characters costumes added to the dullness, but again, that's apart from the main character.

Be Creative -
This is a video I made on my YouTube channel. I organised, edited and filmed everything and the rider is a professional SMX rider. I crated all of this in under 24 hours and was very proud when I uploaded it. This is an example of me being creative and there are tonnes more on the YouTube channel, more things like these, Vlogs EG. But this is a video that I feel is creative.
