AS and A2 portfolio productions are creative?

• As I believe hasn’t been as creative as my A2 as my overall idea on my As production consisted of a cliché idea that Is seen In the majority of the chosen genre productions.

• My A2 however I believe is creative as the idea of supernatural in a dramatic trailer isnt usually seen so builds the idea of something different making it creative.
