Research task 6

 There are many industries that make up the creative industry, for example: advertising, architecture, visual art, crafts, fashion and textiles, design, performing arts, music, photography, film and video, computer games, radio and TV, writing and publishing, heritage, software/electronic publishing, cultural education.

Almost 2 millions people in the UK are employed in the creative industry, which seems like a lot but as of January there are 27.71 million paid employees in the UK, so relatively it 's only a fraction. Also it's a fraction of the work force they contribute massively towards the economy , producing £111.7 billion in 2018.


Since 2011 the number of jobs in the creative industry has gone up 28.6% which is a massive improvement. Also the GVA (gross value added) has massively increased by 53.1%, 1 in 11 jobs are in the creative industry.

Unit 1/2 evaluation 1.7

When this course started I had a very different idea of what I wanted to do for work when I'm older, when I started I was set on making documentaries and factual programs, through my many experiences I've had on this course I have discovered that that's no longer the career path I want to go down. After working on a few creative projects I've discovered that I really enjoy writing. The first thing we did this year was produce a short 5 minute film as a class. After a lot of brainstorming we decided on a story of some bullies luring some kids into the forest to murder them. This was a really good learning experience because it taught me to fully listen to everyone else's idea and comprise to get an idea that everyone likes. This is a very important quality when it comes to the creative industry because it makes you a lot easier to work with. After we figured out the idea and the script was written we went out to film. This part of the process could've gone a lot ...
