Fears and Secrets

Introduction

I have created the list below showing possible ideas and paths that I can go down for my project. The reason I have done this is to inspire me and help me to decide on what to focus my project on.

The fears used in the list are the stereotypical generic fears of people. I have listed these rather than just my own fears because it gives me a wider range of various fears.

Fears

• Darkness - Woods - Night
• Nightmares - Monsters
• Birds
• Sea - Drowning - Isolation
• Bugs - Flies - Spiders
• Dying/Death
• Heights - Drops - Tall buildings
• People
• Clowns
• Pain
• Aloneness
• Places - School/College/Work - Hospitals

I have then produced a list below of the possible secrets and the paths that I could go down to produce a final project on.

Secrets

• Cheating
• Lying
• Relationships
• Family Troubles
• Embarrassing past
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Mental illness

After producing the two lists I discovered that I had more ideas on the fears list. Therefore I have refined my idea down to producing a project on fears, I believe I can produce a creative and imaginative piece of work.

I have decided to refine my idea from fears, down to the fear of nightmares. I have decided this because I can create some well staged set shots, resembling the nightmares and unconscious fears of people. I have an idea at the moment to shoot in a dark location, the reason for this it because it'll allow me to use a flash gun to create various different artificial lighting effects.

The list below is a list of possible ideas and paths to further refine my project down to.

Nightmares

• Animals
• Night
• Horror
• Fantasy
• Alone
• Falling
• Death
• Dying
• Clowns
• Scary/Scared
• Darkness
• Woods
• Monsters
