After listing key words that I found of interest, I decided to research into some of them more and come up with possible ideas that would include them within my project.
Narrative/Storytelling
I will be focusing on showing a narrative within my work. All of my projects have a meaning and narrative as I enjoy telling a story. I will continue to do this in my FMP.
Staged
No matter the concept of my final idea I will be staging my work. I have always enjoyed the freedom of staging a scene and will be applying this to my final major project.
Fine Art
Fine art photography provides just as much freedom as staged photography but is usually used to express an idea, message, or an emotion. It is not about capturing the subject that the camera sees, it is about capturing what the artist sees. I have many ideas of possible shoots and believe fine art photography will help make them a reality.
Conceptual
This type of photography that illustrates an idea. As mentioned previously I focus on telling a story within my work. I also have structured many photographs in my imagination that I would love to bring to life.
Imagination
Cinematic/Film
Adventure
Science Fiction
Action
At the beginning of the project I did not have one single solid idea. To begin with this really agitated me as I usually have a few ideas to work with and adapt. I didn’t want to force myself to come up with ideas and get myself too worked up so I decided to list some key words that I am interested in possibly including within my final major project.
Below are further thoughts and ideas of some of the key words listed above.

Cinematic/Film
Movies have played a great part in my life and I would love to work within that industry as a stills photographer. I feel that because of this I will most likely include cinema within my FMP. I will either take still photographs of a short film, photographs in a cinematic/movie style or create a short film.
