Insight on Interventions, Experimental Films, and Creativity

With the films we saw in class and the Intervention project coming up, I am even more unsure of what an Intervention actually is. My understanding of an intervention is just putting something of art where it usually isn't found. 

I've had a lot a trouble with experimental film as a whole. I find it confusing but yet somewhat intriguing. It seems like I can can make a film about virtually anything and it can be conceived as a great work of art. I have trouble thinking that this idea exists. My brain works on mathematics and logic, but when I watch experimental media, I feel that I am missing the formula to make a great experimental film like the ones we see in class.

Before I go on with this blog, which may turn out to be a long one (I guess I'm probably making up for missed blogs), I feel like this blog may be a good time to reflect not only on this class but also my first year in the film department and how it relates to this class. So here goes the rest. 

I find film school a little bit frustrating for a few reasons. First is caused by grade school. I knew during grade school that I seemed to be stripped of my creativity, but now here in film school I see that grade school certainly did do just that. Granted I worked with film, well, mainly editing and producing sports and educational shows, I see now that I'm having trouble trying to find that creativity to work on films outside of editing. I'm going to this school for editing, but in order to succeed here, I need to find my creativity. 

But then I hit a snag: what makes an experimental film a good film? Unfortunately, I have not found this answer. I was hoping to find it in this class, but I failed on doing so. Is there an easy explanation? Is it based one interpretations of others?

So back to the invention, I mean, intervention. It sure seems like the intervention has to essentially an invention. Obviously the creative factor has to present in this project, but it the project seems so easy. It seems so broad, but I feel like it is also within limits. Maybe I'm just making things way too complicated than what they really are. The interventions that I have seen in lecture and and in discussion brought some light to what an intervention is. I need to create something in a place where there is no creativity. I just realized while writing this that an intervention is basically the same thing I need to do to get my creativity back. Insert creativity where creativity is not usually present.
