Post 2: Creativity

Creativity refers to the phenomenon whereby a person creates something new (a product, a solution, a work of art etc.) that has some kind of value. What counts as "new" may be in reference to the individual creator, or to the society or domain within which the novelty occurs. What counts as "valuable" is similarly defined in a variety of ways.

We played a game called "Consequences". Where people in a group write a different part of a story and at the end you have a very varied and creative story.

This activity is creative because more than one person's ideas went into the making, which means it has a lot more varied imput to make it unique.

-A particular ability
- an ability that has been acquired by training

I understand the term skill as the ability to act or use a specific object or technique. In media this could be having the skill to use a camera expertly, by knowing the various camera movements and shot sizes. This could be editing skills. Having the ability to add or remove effects whilst editing raw footage.
