The Beginning.

First Thoughts.

I had a couple of ideas for the FMP, and i was fairly confident and excited for them.

Here are some of the ideas:

• Film Cover/Posters, and movie stills.I liked this idea as I felt I could really push the boundaries with the images I could create, with creativity and editing software such as Photoshop. I could have many different themes that go along with movie genres. For example Romance, Horror and Action. This was also an idea that i thought would keep me occupied throughout the duration of the project.
• Environmental portraits of Hinckley and London.I really liked the idea of the environmental portraits. I decided on environmental portraits after trying to make myself decided between a landscape based project or a portrait based project.
  Environmental portraits allow me to merge both ideas together.
  
  I wanted to go around Hinckley and London and compare the difference between everyday things, such as the people, places, surroundings and the way of lifestyles. And show the differences that I saw after moving from London to Hinckley.
  
  I liked the idea of this for my FMP as it is really personal to me.
• Landscapes of the local area and surroundings.
  
  I thought about doing a project on landscapes of the local area. Taking photographs at different times and on different days and generally just showing of the area around me. I do like landscape photography, So I thought this would be a good idea. Although I wasn't to sure on this idea as i knew as the town i live in is small, i could get bored easily.
• Mens Fashion.I love men's high street fashion at the moment! So I wanted to do a fashion shoot, in the street. I like the the youthful vibe running through the clothing. Looking through 'Vice' magazine is what mainly gave me my inspiration for the kind of style I wanted to go for. Also advertising photos that you would see in places like 'Top man' advertisements I wanted to highlight brands that are big at the moment like Vans, Obey, Jack Wills, Fred Perry. I wanted to pay attention to accessories like Snapbacks, New Era and other hats, and headphones. Also i wanted close photographs paying attention to the way things are worn. For example a hat with a tilt, or hooded jackets strings tied in bows.
