Like I have said, the idea of the module is to produce a story using images of a certain topic, newstory, career or society. For example, I looked at three in my lecture today which included one about an arctic mountain, someone who spent the day with Gloucestershire hovercrafters which sounded interesting and one on poverty around Gloucestershire.
It is quite vague so there should be many ideas, however I am undecided as to what I am most interested in in order to start mine. My mum works for the police, and I have done work experience for them before, so I am considering applying for a day with a policeman. However, they can have their interesting days and their boring days. Some days are just sitting in police cars waiting for calls.
Another idea I had would be to travel around certain cities with my dad, as he works around the UK, and take photos of the main tourism bits. However, I feel that would be extremely cliche and typical.
So they are the easy options as it involved me going through my parents instead of making my own connections, which I probably should do. Going back to visiting cities around the UK with my dad, I could do photos of street performers and their audiences and how they are different in different cities. This way, I will not be sticking to one place and I will also be focusing on a certain type of person.
Another option, is to find a local organisation, such as the fire, medical and police staff who would be willing to take me out and take photos of them. There are also options such as the dogs home, where I can take photos of the dogs and staff showing what they do on a daily basis or the airport, where I can photograph people going on holiday and planes leaving.
So these are my two main ideas for now, but I am sure as time goes on, more ideas will come to me as I do more research and hear more ideas.
