Choosing our main three ideas.

Most of today's time was spent finishing all the work that needed to be done for our sketch books and making sure all loose ends were tied up, and every bit of work was up to date. So i completed my research report, printed it out, and put it in my sketch book. Put my test shots in and annotated them. Annotated the pictures we took the other week with the film cameras.
When i finished all this work i focused on choosing my main three ideas which i would use for my project. I decided on Fear, Magic, and Ghosts. I chose these three because i think i can make something really good out of them and i think they go well together. Well it does depend on how the person would perceive these three things and how they would explain, and annotate them.
Here's an example of a picture which describes fear.
I actually find this picture quite scary and disturbing myself. A lot of people are scared of going down stairs into a dark basement scared of some mysterious monster. That's why this picture works so well because things like this play on people's minds and it describes fear quite well. I wouldn't exactly be using fear in this particular way in my project but i think this picture definitely has an element of fear to it.
Here is a picture which describes magic
Although this picture does not describe magic in the best way. I wasn't actually thinking of magic in a way like fairies and happy magic. I was thinking of the More dark and sinister side of magic. This picture isn't particularly dark and sinister but tarot cards can be quite sinister and evil. I have quite a few good ideas of what I'm going to do for my project and how I'm going to define magic with the pictures i take.
Here is a picture which describes ghosts.

This picture is actually meant to be a picture of a real ghost, whether it is or not i don't know. But the white see through ghostly figure is quite convincing. i think the photo is taken very well as well on the stairs, quite a dark photo with a bright light white figure standing in the middle.
I would portray ghosts quite differently in my project, not so much like this picture. But still use the same idea of a dark photo with a white ghostly figure in it.
I'm going to mix all these ideas together to make one big idea, and take pictures which have all these things in them.
