Industry Perspectives on Remixing, Creativity and Mess

Abstract

The focus of this part of the book has been on the ideas of remix, creativity and mess, and how these influence the research process when working with children and young people. The part was introduced by Becky Parry who drew on her project, with an arts-based approach, of young people using media production techniques to create films. The project explored children’s engagements with film-making and the role of film in their storytelling. She proposed the idea of learning to live with mess and how this is important to both the creative and the research process when working with children. She also suggested that children as storytellers typifies the process of remix.
