Inspiration, Originality and Imagination

The way I have been original in my AS coursework is firstly being the only one in are class doing a film opening and out of the whole year the only ones doing a relatively gloomy opening. The music I thought was very unique because we were trying to get the murderer in the opening to come across like the guy off American psycho. So he seemed the killing to be more of a hobby than a crime.

With the A2 coursework I thought the main parts I was original mostly in the digipak and advert because you did them on your own and not together. What I thought was original in my digipak was that I focused it all around the silhouette of the three band members and tried to connect the two ancillary pieces together with this.

In the AS coursework I thought are most imaginable thing we did was the making of the fake blood and the way we used it. However it did take quite a couple of time to get it the right thickness and for Dale to use it properly. But I do think the most imaginative was the way we used the fake blood, we used a fine tube with some of the blood in it so when the victim got killed I would blow on the tube and the blood would run out.

In are A2 coursework I would say we wasn’t as imaginative in this coursework because we had to do a music video which we both didn’t really enjoy like the film opening. But I thought I was imaginative on how my digipak and magazine advert were relative to each other.

The inspiration for the AS coursework was many American psycho because we like the way how meaningless he killed people in the film and that’s what we were going for when creating it our own film opening. We took a lot from American psycho for example the way the killer is wearing a suit while murdering his victims.

In are A2 coursework we couldn’t really decide on what song we were going to use for the music video and actually we changed the song like 3 weeks into the coursework. I think the main reason why we didn’t find a big inspiration for are music video was because neither of us are a huge fan of music like others shone in the class. However if I had to choose I would say elbow are inspiration because that’s the song we did it on.
