Start of my A-Level Project

After receiving my new project we were that our second year was entirely independent based.This means all our thoughts and work is entirely ours. To start off with the project I decided to look at what I was mainly either a) interested in or b) what I had a passion for. I decided I wanted to create a project leaning towards a more conceptual project similar to my exam in my first year of Photography. This as a starting point in class our Tutor Andy gave us a starting work that was randomly drawn from a hat. I got the word 'Harmony' which at first I thought I would struggle with as it is quite an obvious work and therefore was harder to think outside of the box. I mind-mapped a few ideas and we were taught how to make links between ideas.

This helped me see a bigger picture to whatever I wanted to do. I helped me think more about the word in itself rather than a straightforward idea for a project. This is where I didn't want to confuse myself and choose a word that was difficult to start with so had another thought about the word I could use. I really feel passinate about nature and landscape photography so was leaning to the idea of something more conceptual and more easier to look at from different directions and opinions. I am yet to choose a word that I feel I can develop in as much detail as needed. After this picture was taken I then went on to expand my mind map and add onto the information I already had.

I then once I kept this word in mind for a couple of days I decided another word may suit me better. I looked at other words such as 'tranquil' and 'peaceful'. I decided that none of these suited me.


I will continue to search for a word that suits me and I feel I can develop further.
