Creativity & Genre

       Creativity, a simp le concept that  so m e  people can find hard to achieve.  Most  young people learn to be right all the time ; t hey learn that you should never be wrong and there is only one right answer. This idea can limit the thoughts and creativity that students and  young lives   may hold but never get to let out. W hatever the task may be, creativity must shine through and open your eyes to new ideas, and new adventures.    “It is when our routines and habits break down and we have no idea what to do next that we need to think and act in new and different ways .” (Shaughnessy, 2020). This quote was used to show that routines serve us well for a while, but as soon as something happens that we are not used to, man y people become flustered, and do not know what to do.   In the Ted talk we watched about creativity the  speaker  had  mentioned  that your best ideas come  to  you w...

To Team or Not to Team

       I came upon my decision about whether to work on my  AICE Media Studies  portfolio alone  before doing the team building activities. I have a unique min d   and like  to be by myself a lot of the time; therefore,  I  will work  better  alone .

Decision Day

       After participating in the tutorials of InDesign and Premiere Pro, I have now seen the positives and negatives, to both. Premiere pro will be able to help me edit and put together a movie,  if I   choose it. While InDesign will help me edit a magazine cover, content page, and feature article.  Personally, I found  Premiere  Pro to  be running slowly.  This may be because it was run on a school co mputer; however, it was super hard to navigate, for example, the cutting feature which allows you to cut the video, seemed easy to use but was hard for me to get the hang of it. Overall, InDesign was much easier to learn, and get down, it also allowed more options, for example, more color and text options . These pros and cons helped me realize my choice for my project.       My choice for this project is going to be a magazine.  I am going to choose this because I feel I can be more creative while creating a...
