KREATIVITETEN FÅR FLÖDA OCH SKAPARGLÄDJEN FÅNGAS en studie om film som intervjumetod och känslorna bakom orden

Sammanfattning: The aim of this essay is to study how we can be stimulated by different emotions when we exercise creative activities. How do we show our emotions? Are all humans easy to read? Do we all look and feel the same when we express different emotions? All of these questions are linked to the question how a normal interview transcript in words can be replaced or supplemented with filmed interviews. My view is that we can see more emotions and expressions from a filmed interview and thus get closer to the informant. I want the reader of this essay to “read” all the interviews and get more content. That’s one of the main focuses with this essay, to get close to the feelings behind the words and creativity. I hope that the reader of this essay through my filmed material can embrace my informants' feelings about creation and their interpretation of what joy is and how it feels. After all, feelings are a universal language that all people express in different ways. Expressing a feeling does not require you to speak the same language, we are all capable of feeling. However, how we express ourselves and explain our feelings is something we do in different ways. We humans need to feel well-being in different ways to feel good. It can be from social, mental / emotional, physical and material well-being. One of the areas I want to investigate is how creativity can enhance mental / emotional well-being. My target audience for the study is people of different disabilities who are all studying creativity. They all got the task of creating something in fabric printing based on the feeling of joy and they have also been interviewed about what they consider joy and creativity. I worked with this wonderful class for 8 days and the result and their interviews was really fun to be a part of.
