Modern Day Society And Creative Industries

Immediately after we are born, we start picking up sounds; the sound of our mother’s voice, the music playing in the elevator on the way to the car, and the happy cheers from a small child seeing their new sibling for the first time. We are always listening–picking up on conversations not meant for our ears, eavesdropping on the gossip of the adult world, and finding the meaning in the portentous silence. From all these auditory stimuli, we piece together the world around us to better understand what is happening to us, around us, and the secret happenings that were not for us to know. Great writers are the ones who listen and say nothing–who take it all in and save their classified information for a day when all the right words flow and form one epic story of the wondrous world we live in.

Creativity is an abstract concept that is crucial as part of our advancements of mankind whether that be in the scientific fields with new inventions and research or in the artistic fields with new paintings and amazing portraits, but most people do not understand that the gift of creativity can be a crucial source of innovative ideas. As a result of the need of creativity, schools must include creativity as part of the daily curriculum that students learn. Students already spent seven hours a day at school, exposing them to a class that helps them efficiently and correctly use creativity would be beneficial to not only students but to all members of society. Places of education such as high schools must include classes in creativity in order to create

Writing is a powerful tool for communication and connection. As an extension and expression of the mind, writing is as much about the mental processes of the author as it is about the final marks laid to paper. As we write, we hold in mind our own thoughts on the work, anticipate the reader’s thoughts, and think both in concrete and abstract ways in order to accomplish the task at hand. Whether an academic research paper, a novel, or text message to friends, writing seeks to engage, persuade, or impress concepts upon an audience. Like language and other art forms in general, the practice of writing is ever-evolving and is subject to cultural and contextual influence, expectations, and conventions. Each writer holds a theory

The current music industry is a hard business for all musicians, whether they are a new artist or even a popular radio artist. Modern times have radically changed the way that musicians now make money. Past musicians used to be able to make a living simply by selling their music and playing a few major concerts to survive and even lives some luxurious lives and not really have to focus on anything except the art that they were creating. The music industry has transformed from being an art to becoming a challenging business job for anyone involved. Today, most musicians have to also be able to handle managerial business to get anywhere and make money or find someone to help them. Current musicians need to do more than just sell music

Hollywood cinema is primarily subjected to telling stories. The inclination of Hollywood narratives comes not just from good chronicles but from good story telling. The following essay will discuss Hollywood’s commercial aesthetic as applied to storytelling, expand on the characteristics of the “principles of classical film narration” and evaluate alternative modes of narration and other deviations from the classical mode.

Whenever books are adapted for film, changes inevitably have to be made. The medium of film offers several advantages and disadvantages over the book: it is not as adept at exploring the inner workings of people - it cannot explore their minds so easily; however, the added visual and audio capabilities of film open whole new areas of the imagination which, in the hands of a competent writer-director, can more than compensate.

The use of Narrative in film and other forms of media is commonplace; it has become such that the media viewer has not only come to expect it but rely on it somewhat. There are two elements in narrative film today that combine in the engaging of the audience; 'story' and 'production' elements. One example in the Australian film industry of the use of production and story elements in such a way as to engage the audiences' attention is the film 'Two Hands'.

In our society, stories are saturated in visual representation. The movie industry has enhanced storytelling through emphasising visuals, and building off of the story's structure. These modern day trends in cinematography have adapted classic tales to fit on the big screen. Shakespeare's work of Romeo and Juliet was written in 1595, and since has been built on by many authors who hope to tell the a love story similar to that of which Romeo and Juliet had. Along with the work in modern novels, Shakespeare’s classic love story has made its way to the box office with three different adaptations of the play since 1968.

Challenging myself to increase the narrative power of my writing, I analyzed the creative non-fiction works of writers like Truman Capote and Jon Krakeaur to understand the dynamics of scene, dialogue, character development and description. I began to build upon my journalistic writing style and refine my application of creative writing techniques through writing workshops, developing strength in my ability to compose compelling narratives. Strengthening

The typewriter clacks, a first morning’s light shines in through the window, and one girl sits alone, writing. In Richard Wilbur’s poem “The Writer,” a father listens and thinks as his daughter types away on a story. Much work would have to go into re-creating this scene in actuality and the details would be extremely important. If the poem “The Writer” by Richard Wilbur was turned into a film, then three main things would be of utmost importance, the sound, the lighting, and the facial expressions.

Dave Yang, a New York singer and guitarist, is a prime example of Apple’s impact on emerging musicians in the industry. “I’ve now recorded hundreds of songs on Apple computers, and GarageBand taught be basic recording engineering that got me started,” Yang said. “Steve Jobs levelled the playing field for who could make music or art, and allowed me to get my voice out.”

I have written out the outlay of plots and stories before, and creating a plot and storyline for a film or television show is of interest to me. With my creativity, especially with character interaction, character's personalities/looks and so forth, and also with storylines in general, I think this would be a suitable job for me. With screenwriters being a freelance profession, that would be of further appeal to me, as being a freelance would be something that would likely appeal to me. All of this considered, I think a screenwriter may perhaps indeed be a suitable potential job for me in the future; it's a job I could stay at home for and would most likely not require me to have to get up and be somewhere by a certain time, not very often anyway. As such, this profession would most likely suit me

As an ever-evolving concept, the creative industries as as hard to define as creativity itself. Academia is struggling to keep up with the growing global interest in these ideas. (De Beukelaer, 2015) A creative industry is defined as ‘unpredictability, rapid shift in trends and fashions’ (Lee, 2015, p. 141). Products that are innovative and novel, satisfying the rapidly changing needs and demands of a globalized society. (Lee, 2015) Lee (2015) identified two common strands of creative industry research. The first focuses on the development of creative industries and the second on ‘place promotion’: using arts and culture to promote or rejuvenate urban areas. (Lee, 2015)
