• Visual mood boards  (gathered and collaged secondary imagery and text – use Pinterest and Google Image) for your chosen life cycle (2 pages A3, 4 pages A4).

• Further more specific mind-mapping developing a personal theme/concept within your chosen Lifecycle (at least one further page of word association and one of imagery).
• 2 Storyboards with plans for photoshoot, annotated to make clear what your intentions are with regards to location, models, props, make-up, costume, lighting, camera angle, depth of field etc. Plan a location relevant to your theme and make an effort to get strong images with considered composition, lighting, camera angles etc.
