Mind map –

In this mind map, we pointed out the main links we thought of when thinking about ‘observe, seek, challenge’. We used an old exam essay for inspiration, to take ideas and thoughts from. We talked about terminology and links to topics and ideas that could help with our new personal study.

Mood board –

My mood board represents my main ideas for my personal study. I want my theme to be me, in more detail, the positives and negatives of growing up as a girl, I’m only 1 of millions of girls so the only story I have to tell is mine.

With divorced parents and issues throughout my 17 years of life, I believe that this idea could not only show perspective, but things that people wouldn’t realize or view if they were not in the same position. Not just with my life in particular, but girlhood in general.

Statement of intent –

The intent I have with my personal study, is to portray a life beyond the viewers. I want to allow them into my life and my past memories that no one would have known about. My photoshoots will portray this by either subtly or obviously explaining my idea of girlhood itself. The struggles and beauties all different aspects I have experienced through my life through girlhood.

I want to begin my photoshoots / personal study in a bedroom, have a motherly figure in an immature bedroom to show childhood, and end the study with the idea of the end of year 13, that could be in school or at a party or however I decide to portray it or how it develops throughout the process.
