Creativity in Storytelling

Have you heard of storytelling? This art can be found across different cultures. It was majorly practiced traditionally where grandparents would narrate stories about past experiences. This would be passed over from one generation to another. Nowadays, you do not need to listen to your grandparent’s tales. There are new forms of storytelling that include films and other digital forms. Many films would be produced and delivered to the consumers who increase each and every day. Competition has therefore been eminent in this field (Borshukov, George & John 25).
A film called The Matrix, upon its production, attracted a large audience and increased demand. It embodies the real storytelling art that would make one unable to differentiate between illusion and reality. You would enjoy watching this film as it is a good form of entertainment. Different kinds of media receive varying intensities of attention and demand from its audiences. Video games also help one in understanding what the producer means as a form of communication. People may despise various forms of gaming that are connected to the matrix because it might deflect from the perception of real life. If one wants to enjoy it, he or she must understand that it is a kind of transmedia storytelling. The difference that exists between The Matrix and Casablanca is that Casablanca consists of only one movie while The Matrix contains three movies and more. The Matrix Reloaded was another entertaining film that shows the ability to tell a story in a manner that audience can understand. It creates a compelling environment solely for its audience (Borshukov, George & John 30).

David Gauntlett

Creativity partly contributes success in life. For scientists and researchers who aim at giving their best in research apply a high degree of creativity. However, David Gauntlett has been a successful researcher thanks to creativity. David has come up with his book “Making is connecting” that shows how people are connected to each other courtesy of various social links. Social links are not left behind by this renowned wave of creativity. The internet has been one of the most used platforms whereby people exchange ideas while they get to learn new ones. Examples of such platforms include; Wikipedia for vast knowledge, Revelry for knitting art, and Kiva, which is majorly known for Microfinance (Borshukov, George & John 10).
David Gauntlett is passionate about how tensions that erupted in the 19th Century impacted on perception between art and craft. This was majorly attributed to various changes in society courtesy of Industrial Revolution. Art was majorly fuelled by the need to gain pleasure from doing something to another person. The culture was also one of the determining factors of championing for art and craft. People are longing for various social relationships that accompany creativity. According to the researcher’s findings, happiness plays a significant role in these social relationships. One can vividly see how creativity is essential in bringing joy to humanity. Can you imagine the world without happiness? It would be a hell-like world. Nevertheless, shortcomings might exist as a result of these platforms because of exposing crucial information about oneself to the public. By reading David’s book, one would readily distinguish between digital and analog cultures (Borshukov, George & John 20).
