Creativity

The creative process has several factors to it such as the genre, when creating a film you will be making a film of a certain genre to act as a template. This template can then be tweaked and adjusted to suit your unique film rather than having the original ideas of that genre. The time when creating a film is a limiting factor because if you do not have enough time before the filming takes place then it does not leave you time to think of good ideas, whereas if you had a lot of time before shooting then you would be able to come up with a more complex narrative. One of the most important factors in the creative process is keeping the audience happy by representing gender, age, class, sexuality and race in way that is expected. When you are working in a group your own idea is not going to be the final one as everybody will want to contribute and put their ideas forward. This means that your own creativity is limited to allow everybody else’s input. If you have had some great experiences in life this opens the door to a very creative film depending on how intense the experiences you have had. When making a short film the budget is not going to be very big so it can restrict creativity because of financial problems. This is because you are not able to purchase something that you maybe wanted for the film so you are limited to a more basic film. If you did want to change something in order for it to look more sophisticated you are able to do so when making a short film because it is very linear. You are able to go back and change things such you do not like. If you wanted to change something in the film after a first time of watching it you would as you could go and edit it again. The creative process does a several factors that limit your creativity but it also has factors that allow you to be more creative than you expected.
